Beyond Behavior: Using Language to Predict Insider Threats

The insider threat landscape is evolving. Disgruntled employees, accidental breaches, and even sophisticated AI-powered attacks all pose a significant risk to an organization’s sensitive data. Traditional security solutions struggle to keep pace with this growing threat vector.

At RSAC 2024, Securonix unveiled a revolutionary solution: Securonix EON. This comprehensive platform leverages the power of AI to deliver a new era of AI-Reinforced CyberOps. Built on three core pillars – AI-Reinforced, Cybersecurity Mesh, and Frictionless Experience – Securonix EON empowers security teams to proactively identify and mitigate threats before they escalate.

One of the most exciting features within Securonix EON is Insider Threat Psycholinguistics. Using the power of Amazon Bedrock and Anthropic’s Claude LLM, this industry-first solution tackles the growing challenge of discerning malicious intent from user behavior.  Here’s how it works:

• AI-Driven Language Analysis: Securonix EON utilizes cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) powered by Amazon Bedrock. These models analyze user language, including emails, chats, and documents, to identify subtle psychological cues that might indicate malicious intent.
• Entity and Activity-Based Risk Scoring: The platform goes beyond simple keyword matching. By analyzing entities and activities within the context of user language, Securonix EON assigns risk scores that pinpoint potential threats in areas like financial crimes and data obfuscation.
• TLDR for User Intent: Imagine having a clear and concise summary of a user’s actions and motivations. Insider Threat Psycholinguistics delivers this valuable insight, allowing security teams to quickly understand the potential threat and take appropriate action.

Benefits for Security Teams:

1. Proactive Threat Detection: Identify potential insider threats before they evolve into full-blown breaches.
2. Reduced False Positives: Focus on the most critical threats by filtering out irrelevant user activity.
3. Improved Efficiency: Streamline investigations with clear and concise summaries of user intent.
4. Enhanced Situational Awareness: Gain a deeper understanding of user behavior and motivations.

Insider Threat Psycholinguistics is a game-changer for security teams. By leveraging the power of AI to analyze user language, Securonix EON equips organizations with a powerful weapon against the evolving threat of insider attacks. This innovative technology goes beyond traditional behavioral analytics, providing deeper insights into user intent and motivations. With Securonix EON, security teams can proactively identify potential threats, reduce false positives, and streamline investigations. By transforming the way organizations approach insider threat detection, Securonix is helping to safeguard sensitive data and protect the bottom line.
