Insider Threat Detection Software for Protecting Against Internal Risks
Who are insiders? Everyone who has access to an organization's internal systems ( e sensitive data and proprietary information including IP, trade secrets, customer and employee data) is an insider, including employees, vendors, contractors, and suppliers. The harm caused by any of these groups is referred to as an insider threat.
Unfortunately, no organization is immune to insider threats.
According to an Ernst & Young and IBM report, there's a 74% perceived risk of a cyber-breach and insider misuse in the financial services industry; followed by 64% in consumer, retail and wholesale; 55% in tech and entertainment, and 56% in power and utilities. Experts have discovered that one of the main reasons why insider threat is so prevalent is because it's difficult to detect.
Insider threats are inherently different from other cybersecurity risks; thus, addressing this challenge using traditional measures or strategies is often ineffective. Insiders have a significant advantage over external attackers - they have access to privileged systems, they are aware of their organization's policies, procedures, and technology and its security vulnerabilities.

Staffcop Insider Threat Prevention
is Your Ultimate Defense Against Insider Threats and Data Loss Incidents
Establish Organization-Wide Visibility and Control
Staffcop has built-in features that allows it to visually record every action that a user makes for over 22 objects including screen, apps, websites, files, emails, etc. All objects can be adjusted to take into consideration what needs to be monitored and who has access to the monitored records. You can also control who you want to monitor, how much you want to monitor, when and for how long, thus you can have instant administrative oversight and still meet privacy requirements.

Detect and Prevent Threats Early and Automatically
Copying files to external drives, using cloud storage to share corporate files, downloading/opening files and attachments from unknown sources are often regarded as high risk behavior. Staffcop not only identifies this type of risky behavior but also applies advanced behavior-based rules to automatically detect when users violate the rules. Further, it utilizes the sophisticated anomaly rules to identify user activity outside the normal behavior and immediately alert administrators of errant employees. The solution also allows to lock such users out from the system or take remote control of their computer before any malicious or fraudulent attempt.
Monitor Privileged Users, Remote Users and Third-Parties to Prevent Collusion
With Staffcop you have the capability to create profiles for remote, privileged, external vendors, define what information and system resources each profile can access and use rules to set up by behavior policies so that access to sensitive information is segregated by the organization’s security policy, or on a need-to-know basis. Rules can also be developed to notify the authorities of any suspicious privileged user activity, including unscheduled and/or unauthorized changes to system configuration, creation of backdoor accounts etc.
