Insider Risk Management for Financial Services

  • INSIDER RISK MANAGEMENT
  • USE CASES

Overview

Financial institutions need to protect sensitive customer and financial data, monitor for fraud, and address regulatory compliance without adding more blind spots. DTEX brings user and entity behavior analytics, user activity monitoring, and data loss prevention into one lightweight platform, so teams can detect and mitigate insider risk earlier. 

The hard part is visibility. Cloud migration, AI, digital banking, and digital investing expand where data resides and how people reach it. Unstructured data keeps growing. Third parties need access. Security teams can lose track of where sensitive data lives, who owns it, and whether access matches a person’s role and responsibilities. 

DTEX uses metadata from cyber, physical, and psycho-social sensors to identify behavioral risk indicators and early warning signs that a breach may be imminent. Its risk-adaptive data loss prevention captures full file lineage, related user activity, and a complete audit trail. Teams get context for data movement.
