Overview
Privileged users can reach sensitive data and change company systems in ways ordinary users cannot. That access is useful, but it also creates insider risk when an account is compromised, a mistake causes a data breach, power is abused for personal gain, or broad system access is handed out during onboarding.
DTEX monitors privileged user activity with contextual audit trails, real-time behavioral analytics, and aggregated risk scores. It uses forwarders on endpoints and servers, with an option to connect to identity and access management solutions. The result is high fidelity metadata for user events on and off server environments.
For investigations, DTEX gives teams event logs, risk-based alerts, dashboards for privileged escalation and circumvention, and the DTEX Ai3 Assistant for step-by-step guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does DTEX support privileged access management and insider risk management?
DTEX monitors privileged user activity with contextual audit trails, real-time behavioral analytics, and aggregated risk scores. Security teams get visibility into user events on and off server environments.
Why do privileged users create higher insider risk?
Privileged users have greater access to company data and can change systems without raising a red flag. System administrators, engineers, and developers may be compromised, make mistakes that lead to a data breach, abuse their power for personal gain, or receive broad system access during onboarding.
What privileged user behaviors can DTEX detect?
DTEX detects security bypasses, system configuration changes, and data movement by privileged users. Dashboards for privileged escalation and circumvention help teams investigate suspicious behavior faster.
How does DTEX collect audit trails for privileged access activity?
DTEX uses forwarders on endpoints and servers to collect high fidelity metadata for privileged user activity. That metadata gives teams an audit trail for user events on and off server environments, with an option to integrate with identity and access management solutions.
How does DTEX help investigate insider threats involving privileged users?
DTEX supports investigations with event logs, risk-based alerts, audit trails, and the DTEX Ai3 Assistant. The assistant gives security teams step-by-step guidance when they review privileged escalation, circumvention, and other risky activity.
What teams can use DTEX privileged access insider risk management data?
HR, legal, and security teams can use DTEX event logs, risk-based alerts, and audit trails to review privileged user activity involving sensitive data, system changes, security bypasses, and data movement.
