End user trust management

Protecting your business from the inside out.
How we help

Business need

Organisations handle large amounts of commercially sensitive data, sometimes personal information, through their business systems. Whilst external attackers are widely recognised as a risk, businesses must also look inward to truly protect against data loss or leakage. Often, this is accidental – data loss or business disruption caused by user error operating unfamiliar systems or visiting unsecure websites. But unfortunately, businesses can fall victim to malicious intentions too, whether a disgruntled employee attempting to sabotage operations, or the extraction of sales leads or IP for use in a competitive organisation. Your response requires more than just end user device security.

How can you protect your business against insider threats or accidental data loss? Having an acceptable use policy in place is the start, but how will you ensure this is being adhered to? The answer lies in implementing the right end user security technologies and access controls to back up your policies and monitor employee behaviour. Keeping a watch on all of this can be challenging and time consuming to manage, especially as remote and hybrid working is now commonplace and employees work beyond the perimeter of the company network. Outsourcing end user security as part of a SOC solution can be an effective way to save resource and enjoy peace of mind.

How we help

We work with you to establish user profiles and privileges so that your employees have access only to the business systems they need to carry out their roles.

The service technologies we integrate into your systems act as a safety net to paper policies, flagging up any rules that are being breached and assisting end user trust management.

Continuous protective monitoring means we can alert you to repeated deviations from policy by individuals, building up a behaviour profile.

Web security filters can also be implemented to ensure controls are in place beyond the company network for remote workers

An audit trail linked to user privileges provides employee accountability – helping to identify the cause of data loss quickly and easily and take appropriate action.

With experts on guard 24/7, we can provide a quick response to any threats detected before they escalate to data loss or business disruption.

DLP controls prohibit sensitive data being taken off site, whether by download onto external media or by email to personal accounts.

David is a successful account manager and has been head hunted by a rival firm. Before handing in his notice he decides to export the companies client list, which he keeps as a local copy on his laptop. David is working from home and he knows of a number of ways to export this data. He first tries exporting the data to his personal USB stick which is blocked in real-time, he then tries printing the client list which is also blocked.

As a final measure he attempts to upload the data to his personal Dropbox account.

The SOC team monitor David’s activity in real-time and notices that whilst the activity was blocked, it clearly indicates a level of persistency by the end user and escalates the incident to the client.

The SOC team also search the SIEM system which monitors other systems including network, firewall, server and endpoint protection. The analysts confirm there are no indicators that an external attacker has a foothold on David’s laptop and are fraudulently acting as him.
