Insider Threat Prevention

Eliminate the exposed data attackers use to manipulate trusted employees.
The Threat Landscape
Insider threats are not limited to malicious employees. Many incidents involve well-intentioned staff who are manipulated, coerced, or deceived by external threat actors. In other cases, attackers impersonate trusted employees or internal roles, using exposed personal details to bypass suspicion and gain cooperation.
Exposed personal data from data broker and people search sites enables attackers to socially engineer employees using private details to build trust, fabricate convincing scenarios, or extract sensitive information.
In more severe cases, exposed personal information can be leveraged for blackmail or coercion, pressuring employees to provide access to restricted systems or assist in an attack. By removing this data, organizations reduce the leverage attackers use to turn trusted insiders into unintentional accomplices.
