Insider Threat Protection

Because the people inside your organization are most privy to your sensitive data

Your own users can put organizational security at risk with little effort. Beyond unintentional damage users can cause, insider attacks – such as rogue employees, former employees who still have access to your system, malicious contractors, and other bad actors – are capable of doing even more damage. They’re often more difficult to prevent and detect than attacks originating outside your organization. Research states that a third of all organizations still have no capability to prevent or deter an insider attack.

Sophos helps you quickly identify the weak spots in your organization by giving you complete insight in your users’ activities. This way, you can educate innocent users to prevent putting your organization at risk, or modify network policies to stop malicious attacks from within the organization, dramatically reducing risk and improving security confidence across your organization.

Prevention (DLP)

Sophos offers organizations next-level user awareness across all areas of the firewall, enabling user-based policy controls over applications, websites, traffic shaping (QoS), and other network resources regardless of IP-address, location, network or device. You can manage and control which applications and websites/web categories your users or user groups (departments/functions) can have access to.

Sophos User Threat Quotient (UTQ) on Sophos XG firewall is a unique feature that provides actionable intelligence on user behavior. Get insights into who your riskiest users and applications are to ensure that proper policies are enforced before a security mishap occurs. Get automated reports for users’ surfing habits and activity with advanced threat triggers and history to identify risk-prone users. Use the insights to formulate suitable training and cyber awareness initiatives to educate risky users.

User Threat Quotient calculated based on:

Users’ Web surfing behaviour (Denied and Allowed but potentially risky Web traffic for each user).
Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) logs (Infected clients/hosts or clients that are part of a botnet).

Protect your sensitive data from accidental or malicious disclosure by users with complete policy control over web categories, applications, removable media and mobile devices, and data, from Sophos Endpoint Protection.

The DLP functionality available in Sophos Endpoint Advanced and Sophos Email Appliance integrates content scanning into the threat detection engine and includes a comprehensive set of sensitive data type definitions continually updated by SophosLabs to enable immediate protection of your sensitive data. SophosLabs provides a comprehensive library of sensitive data definitions, providing detection for all common types of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), financial and healthcare data. You can log, warn, block or encrypt sensitive information that triggers a DLP policy rule.
