Overview
Insurance insider risk management helps insurers detect, prevent, and reduce insider threats involving customer data, financial records, PII, health data, and confidential business information. Exposure grows when teams use cloud applications, third-party partnerships, distributed work models, and partner access to internal systems.
A working IRM strategy helps protect policyholder data, prevent fraud, and meet data security and privacy obligations such as HIPAA and GLBA. Risk signals may include unauthorized system access, abnormal command executions, generative AI tool misuse and abuse, abnormal transaction patterns, and access to high-value accounts.
The DTEX Platform is purpose-built for insider risk management. It combines UEBA, user activity monitoring, and DLP in one lightweight platform, using metadata from cyber, physical, and psycho-social sensors to surface behavioral risk indicators, track full file lineage with user activity, and provide an audit trail for data movement.
