How Exabeam Addresses Compromised Insider Threats

This guide outlines the challenges posed by compromised insiders, which are among the most difficult security threats for enterprises to detect and manage. A compromised insider occurs when an attacker acquires legitimate user credentials, allowing them to operate within a network as a trusted user. The document details seven common use cases of compromised insiders: compromised credentials, lateral movement, privilege escalation, privileged activity, evasion, account manipulation, and data exfiltration. It explains the risks associated with these threats, including the importance of security controls and threat detection. Additionally, the guide describes how Exabeam's solutions can help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to these threats effectively. It emphasizes the need for a behavioral baseline to identify abnormal activities and improve security posture, thereby reducing the risk of insider threats.
