ObserveIT Accelerates Insider Threat Detection and Prevention with New Actionable Analytics and User Activity Profiling to Thwart Threats from WithinBOSTON, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ObserveIT, the leading insider threat monitoring and analytics solution provider with more than 1,500 customers around the world, today unveiled new actionable analytics and the ability to proactively block risky, out-of-policy activities by insiders giving security and IT teams powerful weapons in the fight to make their organizations more secure. With the innovations now available in ObserveIT 7.0, the company continues its leadership in enabling its customers to ensure privileged users, vendors, consultants and business users do not act in negligent or malicious ways that put their businesses at risk. "We began using ObserveIT in order to become PCI compliant, but the protections we now have extend far beyond regulatory compliance. We have the visibility we need, in real-time, to make sure our organization is secure from within," said Bhuvnesh Khosla, Security Engineer at AAA. "Not only is ObserveIT a phenomenal solution with outstanding monitoring, analytics and UI – it was one of the easiest installs ever. This should be in every security team's arsenal." Whether intentional or unintentional, every insider on the network, from privileged users to 3rd party vendors, consultants and business users, presents a threat. ObserveIT identifies and eliminates these insider threats with real-time detection, deterrence, education, discretionary prevention and precise visibility into all user actions with its industry-leading analytics, rich metadata and video playback capabilities. This insight not only reduces security incidents, it also speeds investigations from weeks or months to minutes and, especially with ObserveIT's ability to anonymize users, helps organizations comply with PCI, SOX, HIPAA, NISPOM, GDPR and other compliance requirements. Leading global research and advisory firm Forrester, in its recent TechRadar™ Endpoint Security, Q1 2017 report authored by senior analyst Chris Sherman, examined the importance of user analytics, "Buyer feedback for user behavior monitoring and analytics is very positive, and there are strong signs of growth. Since most end point security products focus on correlating end point behavior / process data to devices rather than specific users, user behavior monitoring & analytics fills a gap present with most organizations' end point security stack."i New Features and Capabilities Available in ObserveIT 7.0 include:
"Unfortunately, security threats are a fact of business life. It's also a fact that the biggest security risk to organizations is from employees and vendors who inadvertently or maliciously violate security policies – which is why the demand for insider threat solutions is higher than ever before," explained ObserveIT CEO Mike McKee. "As a clear industry leader committed to continuously innovating for our customers, I'm proud to say that our new actionable analytics and proactive prevention capabilities make ObserveIT 7.0 the most powerful and easy to use insider threat solution on the market today."
