Overview

The common thread across various forms of insider threats is the deviation of a user’s or an asset’s behavior from its past or from its peer groups. This deviation can indicate fraudulent or malicious activity. Behavior of entities, especially users, devices, system accounts, and privileged accounts, can be mined to reveal anomalies, even when they occur in low frequency and over extended periods of time.

Apvera actionable user behavior analytics captures the footprint of these insider threats as they traverse enterprise, cloud and mobile environments, to baseline, detect deviations and find anomalies continuously. These anomalies are sequenced over time using pattern detection and advanced correlation to reveal comprehensible and immediate actionable events.

How we are different

Insiders have an advantage—they are within an organization and have access to the environment. No perimeter defense or rules-based system can be effective in detecting, let alone preventing, their malicious activity. As a result, insider threats are amongst the hardest to catch and most successful in exfiltrating valuable corporate and customer data.


Since insiders already possess the necessary privileges, rules-based systems and checks do not detect malicious or suspicious activity. All of these seemingly benign and legitimate actions, when used for malintent, manage to evade even the smartest security tools today, leaving IP theft, financial fraud and other corporate crimes undetected until it’s too late. Hence Apvera has developed technology to help companies safeguard and mitigate risks as they pertain to user behavior.
