DoControl is named as a Representative Vendor in 2022 Gartner® Market Guide for Insider Risk Management Solutions. Gartner recently published the market guide which assists in understanding and implementing a comprehensive insider risk management program. Gartner describes how “the increase in a hybrid or remote workforce, compounded with additional vendor integration, has prioritized insider risk management as a focus area for security and risk management leaders.”
DoControl provides full visibility into all Software as a Service (SaaS) users and events, continuous monitoring to identify and alert on potential threats, and automated orchestration via the initiation of secure workflows to prevent sensitive data from becoming overexposed or exfiltrated.
Enforce least privilege. Systematically enforcing least privilege across your organization secures the business against negligent and compromised insiders. Tools that minimize end-user access based on necessity and automatically prevents or notifies security teams about high-risk activity provides an extra layer of protection against exfiltration.
Prevent external sharing to private email accounts. If business users are free to share sensitive information to external users unauthorized and unmonitored, it’s incredibly difficult to prevent malicious insiders from exfiltrating data. This goes double for data stored outside the organizational perimeter, i.e., within SaaS apps.
Automate data access controls. Security teams require tools that enable them to act quickly to remediate data access issues and prevent overexposure to protect the business – ideally, tools that automatically send alerts for risky activity and allow for the creation of data access policies that help prevent insider risks from becoming threats.
When it comes to addressing insider risk, security starts within. Protecting sensitive company data from exfiltration and misuse requires a combination of the right people, process, and technology.
Human error will always be a factor, but it’s critical to proactively train your employees and foster a security-minded culture within your organization. Educating your people is key to protecting your business against insider-led attacks.
Establish security policies that proactively mitigate access issues to prevent insider risks from becoming material threats to the business. This is especially important for data stored within SaaS applications, which is complex to monitor and control.
Organizations can protect themselves using an arsenal of tools that empowers the security team to remediate insider threats quickly using intelligent technology and automation.
