Risk: An increasingly high and growing percentage of data breaches are the result of activity by Privileged Users, and auditors are increasingly requiring monitoring of privileged users in order to meet both security standards and regulatory mandates.

Solutions: Lumigent's user monitoring software provides a complete audit trail of all Privileged User activity, which allows you to validate that any and all changes are made by authorized Privileged Users, and which allows you to both get alerts and report on any violations for remediation and/or compliance review.

Privileged User Monitoring can protect your database against insider threats.

All companies rely on Privileged Users, but the insider threat is a major risk.

According to Verizon's 2010 Data Breach Investigation Report, a shocking 48% of data security breaches involve Privileged Users, as opposed to perimeter threats.  In other words, privileged users who have been entrusted with the security of systems may be the sources of undesired activity.

Mitigating the risk posed by Privileged Users is a key priority for IT security teams. Activity monitoring is an essential tool in combating this threat and, to be effective, it must be deployed in accordance with security best practices and must provide true visibility into who is doing what to your data.

Lumigent products continuously monitor the activities of privileged users, and our unique ability to provide deep insight into their activities, combined with alerting and reporting on deviations from acceptable use makes Lumigent a key component of a complete Data Security Strategy.
