Exabeam and Code42 announce strategic partnership to detect and respond to risk from insider threats
Exabeam , a Smarter SIEM company , and
Code42 , a leader in insider risk detection and response , has announced a strategic partnership to help security and insider threat teams quickly detect , investigate and respond to data exfiltration and reduce risks caused by compromised , negligent or malicious insiders . Customers using the joint solution will benefit from having a full picture of their environment , even in distributed workforce conditions , with automated incident response to obstruct insider threats before data loss occurs .
Insider threats are now among the most serious security risks and are becoming increasingly difficult to manage using conventional security technologies . The huge shift to remote working in 2020 has increased the use of personal devices and at the same time , reduced the effectiveness of existing enterprise security solutions . When devices aren ’ t accessing assets directly through the corporate network or a VPN and instead going straight to the cloud , onpremises network data loss prevention ( DLP ) techniques and network firewalls have blind spots . Remote workers have also become the targets of social engineering attacks as cybercriminals attempt to exploit them to access corporate networks .
“ The unprecedented growth in distributed work presents novel and complex insider threats – even when compared to just months ago ,” said Grant McCormick , CIO , Exabeam .
