Threat Programs

Responsible for detecting, deterring, and mitigating threats arising from the misuse of authorized access to an organization’s network, systems, or assets, insider threat programs (ITPs) require extensive resources in order to operate effectively. Having spent years combating insider threats, Flashpoint has tailored its offerings to ITP needs, challenges, and objectives.

01

Data Sources

Flashpoint provides insider threat teams with extensive visibility into the illicit online communities frequented by insider threat actors, threat actors seeking to recruit insiders at targeted organizations in order to carry out criminal schemes, and threat actors seeking to monetize proprietary data obtained from these schemes.

02

Intelligence

Flashpoint’s intelligence analysts can identify and assess the capability and credibility of the threat actors and associated TTPs targeting customer organizations and industries. Expert analysis enables teams to contextualize internal data to better identify and investigate potential insider threats and inform controls.

03

Community
