Building a Behavior-Driven Insider Threat Program: A 10-Step Playbook
eBook
A structured framework for designing, implementing, and maturing an insider threat program based on behavioral risk detection and response.
This playbook outlines a 10-step framework that security teams can use to build a behavior-driven insider threat program that detects and responds to risk across human and non-human identities.
Insider threats continue to grow as organizations adopt cloud services, automation, and AI-driven workflows. Authorized access, service accounts, and AI agents can all be misused or compromised. Traditional controls lack the context needed to detect behavioral risk over time, creating gaps in visibility and response.
Learn a structured approach to building an insider threat program centered on behavioral analytics and risk scoring. It helps you align governance, identity management, data visibility, and response workflows to detect and contain insider risk earlier.
Key Questions This Guide Helps You Answer
- How do you design an insider threat program that accounts for both human and non-human identities?
- What role do behavioral analytics and risk scoring play in early detection?
- How should governance, HR, legal, and security teams coordinate response?
- What data sources are required to build identity-centric visibility?
- How do you detect insider activity that appears legitimate but becomes risky over time?
- How can you extend insider threat detection to AI agents and automated workflows?
How Exabeam Supports Behavior-Driven Insider Threat Detection
New-Scale Fusion unifies data across systems into an identity-centric view, allowing security teams to analyze activity across users, service accounts, and AI agents in context. Behavioral analytics establishes baselines and identifies anomalies across both human and non-human activity.
Dynamic risk scoring aggregates these behaviors into prioritized threats, while Investigation Timelines correlate events into a chronological narrative for faster analysis. Exabeam Nova automates investigation steps and generates case context, enabling security teams to detect and respond to insider risk earlier.
