Overview
Technology companies need to protect intellectual property, proprietary algorithms, sensitive customer data, cloud infrastructure, and corporate assets from malicious intent, negligence, and external compromise. DTEX is purpose-built for insider risk management in these environments, combining user and entity behavior analytics, user activity monitoring, and data loss prevention in one lightweight platform.
The risk is shaped by fast product cycles, distributed teams, open-source and third-party integrations, and obligations such as GDPR, CCPA, and DMCA. Common cases include IP theft, exfiltration by employees, contractors, or DPRK foreign nationals, vendor and contractor threats to the supply chain, and AI misuse and abuse.
DTEX uses metadata from cyber, physical, and psycho-social sensors to surface behavioral risk indicators that can show when a breach may be imminent. It captures full file lineage with user activity and an audit trail, baselines user and device behavior by role, department, and geography, monitors AI tool use, tracks data flows to and from AI applications, and can block or limit access based on risk score and careless behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is insider risk management for technology companies?
Insider risk management for technology companies protects intellectual property, proprietary algorithms, sensitive customer data, cloud infrastructure, and corporate assets from malicious intent, negligence, or external compromise. It also accounts for fast product cycles, distributed teams, third-party integrations, and regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and DMCA.
What capabilities should insider risk management software provide for technology companies?
It should bring user and entity behavior analytics, user activity monitoring, and data loss prevention into a single platform. DTEX also captures full file lineage with user activity, maintains an audit trail, baselines user and device behavior, monitors AI tool use, and can block or limit access based on risk score and careless behavior.
How does DTEX detect early warning signs of insider threats?
DTEX combines metadata from cyber, physical, and psycho-social sensors to surface behavioral risk indicators. Those indicators can show when a breach may be imminent, giving teams earlier detection and mitigation of insider risks.
What insider threat use cases should technology companies monitor?
Top use cases include IP theft, exfiltration by employees, contractors, or DPRK foreign nationals, vendor and contractor threats to the supply chain, and AI misuse and abuse.
How does DTEX support data loss prevention and exfiltration monitoring?
DTEX captures full file lineage, associated user activity, and a complete audit trail. It tracks data flows to and from AI applications and can block or limit access when risk scores or careless behavior indicate elevated risk.
How should cybersecurity teams manage AI misuse as part of insider risk management?
They should monitor AI tool use and track data flows to and from AI applications. DTEX includes those capabilities alongside behavior baselining, user activity monitoring, and access controls based on risk.
