BOSTON, May 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ObserveIT, the
world's leading provider of insider threat management software,
today announced that International Data Corporation (IDC) has named
the company an IDC Innovator in the behavioral analytics and
identity awareness market. ObserveIT was recognized as the first
user behavioral analytics (UBA) solution to combine related UBA,
supervision and monitoring, and training technologies into a single
platform that provides an added layer of context and behavioral
modification.
An overview of the report, IDC Innovators: Behavioral Analytics
and Identity Awareness, 2016 (Document #US41144816, May 2016), citing ObserveIT's accomplishments is
available here.
ObserveIT's Insider Threat Management platform is a proactive
security solution that keeps insiders (employees, vendors, etc.) in
policy, and when someone acts out of policy, records the session
automatically to speed investigations. The system also
automatically ranks insiders on their threat levels, and enables
security teams to act quickly to mitigate both malicious and
unintentional actions.
Highlights of ObserveIT's value to customers:
Full visibility: Rather than sifting through thousands of
log files searching for a snowflake during a blizzard, ObserveIT
gives organizations complete vision into each and every
human-related incident. This who/what/when/where/how information is
actionable, and enables organizations to mitigate risk immediately
and bring them into compliance with important regulations.
Fewer incidents: Immediately reduces number of incidents
that put companies at risk. Every person across an organization is
notified if they are about to act out-of-policy, and that if they
continue, their session will be recorded. This acts as both an
effective education tool and deterrent.
Faster investigations: Rather than hours of legwork,
security teams only need minutes to investigate incidents, and not
only do they have immediate insight into what occurred, the
ObserveIT solution automatically stack-ranks people by risk
behavior, prioritizing their efforts and making the entire security
program more effective.
"ObserveIT's ability to deter, detect and record risky activity
by insiders is a powerful and unique solution to the biggest
cybersecurity threat facing organizations today," said Mike McKee, CEO of ObserveIT. "We are proud have
been named an IDC Innovator for the work we are doing to help over
1,200 customers around the world dramatically reduce insider data
breaches."
