Privileged User Monitoring

Monitor Privileged Users & Vendors with Teramind

Privileged users have access to your core IT systems, network, applications and data. Since such users have access to elevated credentials, it can be incredibly difficult to detect a malicious privileged user before they have caused damage already. These users have a significant advantage over external attackers. In addition to already having access to privileged systems, they are aware of their organization’s policies, procedures, and technology and vulnerabilities. Stolen or hacked privileged accounts are also the number one choice for many external criminals looking for gaining access to otherwise ‘secure’ systems.

For all of these reasons and the increasing complexity of IT environment, privileged user monitoring, identity verification and privileged access management are becoming critical components in an organization’s security strategy.

Protect Your Sensitive Data, IP and IT Systems from Compromised Privileged Users with Teramind

Teramind’s real-time user activity monitoring and data loss prevention solutions help you monitor privileged users to automatically detect anomalous behavior and suspicious activity that signal a compromised or malicious privileged user. For example: creation of back-door accounts, transmission of sensitive data outside the company etc.

Teramind’s Intelligent Policy & Rules Engine then automatically enforces data protection and access control rules on the compromised privileged user to prevent data exfiltration, IP theft, fraud, industrial espionage, sabotage and other malicious attempts.
