A publicly traded oil and gas company with over 80,000 employees recognized the growing need to advance its insider risk capabilities as part of a broader cybersecurity transformation. As one of the largest energy producers in the world, the organization plays a critical role in global infrastructure, making operational integrity and data protection a top priority.
Company profile
Following a destructive malware attack over a decade ago that severely impacted operations, the company has remained vigilant about cybersecurity, investing heavily in internal tools and expertise. More recently, it launched a formal Insider Risk Management (IRM) program with dedicated staff and budget, initially focusing on in-house development. The organization determined that external technologies would be essential to scale its efforts and deliver the real-time visibility required to keep pace with emerging threats.
The need
The IRM team sought a solution to detect risky behavior earlier in the threat chain without overwhelming analysts with false positives or compromising user privacy. While internal tools had supported early success, they lacked the behavioral depth, investigative context, and enterprise scalability needed to protect a workforce of this size and complexity.
The company needed a platform that could provide high-fidelity insight into activities such as privilege misuse, data obfuscation, and unauthorized exfiltration while preserving the performance and privacy expectations of a global user base. It also needed to ensure the solution integrated easily with existing infrastructure, supported off-network visibility, and could deliver immediate value without a heavy deployment footprint.
The solution
To meet these needs, the company implemented the DTEX Platform, a cloud-native insider risk platform that combines behavioral analytics, user activity monitoring, and lightweight data collection. The DTEX Platform delivered the real-time context the security team needed to detect intent-based threats and proactively mitigate risk, on and off the corporate network.
DTEX distinguishes between normal, negligent, and malicious behaviors, allowing analysts to quickly focus on what matters most. The solution collects just 3–5MB of data per user daily with no perceptible impact on endpoint performance, and integrates easily into the company’s existing security operations stack.
The results
By adopting the DTEX Platform as its insider risk management solution, the company gained enterprise-wide visibility and a more actionable understanding of user behavior.
Benefits
- Faster Remediation: Risky behavior is identified earlier in the insider threat kill chain, enabling quicker response and risk reduction.
- Simplified Investigations: Context-rich telemetry and intuitive dashboards allow analysts to resolve issues more quickly and accurately.
- Actionable Reporting: Executive-ready reports provide plain-language insight into business risk, with key takeaways and clear next steps.
