Automate Insider Threat Detection and Response

Only the most mature organizations can afford the human expertise needed to manually address insider threats, leaving the average organization with a blind spot. Automate the essential processes for detecting malicious behavior and ensuring water-tight employee offboarding.

SecOps teams have the integrations and information they need to better defend against potential insider threats.

Turn Insider Risk Signals into Coordinated Response

Swimlane correlates user activity across identity, endpoint, and data systems to surface insider risk earlier and automate data exfiltration mitigation. It orchestrates follow-on response actions such as access review or account containment, triggers workflows, assigns cases, and drives each investigation through to resolution before incidents escalate. Unify insider risk data within security, identity, HR, and legal systems to give SecOps teams one trusted view of user activity, access changes, case ownership, and response status.

Speed Insider Threat Investigations

Insider threat investigations are nuanced and time-intensive. Bring humans in the loop of automation to speed manual information gathering, and collaborate on active insider threat cases.

Swimlane brings the right context into every case by enriching insider threat activity within SIEM, EDR, IAM, DLP, HR, and ITSM environments. Reconstruct user timelines faster, streamline sensitive handoffs, and maintain audit-ready records for every investigation.

Connect user activity beyond systems
Prioritize cases by risk and business impact
Preserve investigation history for audit and legal review
Reduce manual evidence gathering

Improve Insider Risk Posture

Security teams who leverage low-code automation for insider threat use cases gain the scale and efficiencies to reduce insider risk holistically. This means that they address risks introduced by employees with elevated access, malicious insider threats, third-party risk, shadow IT use, and more.

Extend insider risk coverage by connecting user behavior, access patterns, and business context.

Autonomously investigate privileged access misuse, unusual logins, and abnormal data movement.
Monitor shadow IT, unauthorized cloud app use, and third-party activity.

Protect Future Profits

Nothing puts future profits in jeopardy like leaked source code, roadmaps, customer lists, vendor contracts, or regulated data. Establish a system or record for insider risk to validate that your security controls are effective at protecting valuable and regulated data.

Strengthen that protection by surfacing risky data movement and triggering response workflows that help teams investigate and contain potential data exfiltration before it impacts the business. Safeguard intellectual property and regulated data with policy-driven automated workflows and enforce response actions automatically to contain risk and maintain compliance.

Improve Cross-Functional Collaboration

Insider threat programs require the right combination of people, processes, and technology. User-centric dashboards, reporting, and case management bring legal, HR, and compliance teams into the response process, with structured workflows for investigation, review, and escalation, backed by role-based access and secure case collaboration.

SOC & HR Teams: From Signal to Action

SOC teams validate security signals and initiate cases. HR teams provide employee context and manage internal actions.

Legal & Compliance: Evidence to Governance

Legal teams review evidence and guide sensitive investigations. Compliance teams ensure reporting, governance, and audit readiness.

Stop Sensitive Data from Leaving the Business

Control risky data movement before it becomes a breach. Swimlane flags unusual file activity, investigates suspicious downloads, contains cloud storage misuse, and enforces response actions that protect source code, IP, and regulated data.

Swimlane vs Traditional MSSP Operations

Capability	Traditional Insider Threat Tools	Swimlane Insider Threat Automation
Insider risk visibility	Relies on siloed alerts spanning disconnected tools	Unifies alerts into a single case view with full user, data, and system context
Investigation approach	Requires manual data gathering from multiple environments	Automates enrichment across SIEM, EDR, IAM, DLP, HR, and ITSM systems
Workflow execution	Depends on static rules and predefined processes	Uses adaptive, AI-supported workflows that move cases forward based on risk
Cross-functional response	Limited to security teams with fragmented collaboration	Connects SOC, HR, legal, and compliance teams within one workflow
Documentation and audit	Requires manual documentation and reporting	Maintains audit-ready case history with full activity tracking
Response speed	Slower response with delayed actions and manual coordination	Enables real-time access control, containment, and policy enforcement
