Protection Against Insider Threats
Around 25% of all security incidents are caused by insiders — whether malicious or unintentional (Ponemon Institute, Cost of Insider Threats Report 2024). With Zero Trust, User Behavior Analytics and Privileged Access Management, we protect your data from the inside out.
Why Insider Threat Protection?
The greatest threat often comes from within
Behavioral Analytics
User Behavior Analytics (UBA) automatically detects unusual access patterns and suspicious activity in real time.
Zero Trust Architecture
Trust no one — every access request is verified. Zero Trust minimizes the risk posed by compromised or malicious insiders.
Privileged Access Management
Control administrative access with Privileged Access Management — time-limited and logged.
Data Loss Prevention
DLP rules prevent sensitive data from leaving the company uncontrolled through insiders.
Traceable Audit Logging
Audit logging of access to sensitive data and systems, to the agreed scope — for compliance and forensics.
Security Awareness
Training raises awareness of secure data handling and reduces unintentional insider incidents.
Insider Threat Detection
Behavioral Analytics
Anomaly Detection
Spot and Assess Anomalous Behavior Early
User Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) detects anomalous behavior in real time — from suspicious file access to unusual login patterns.
Our Insider Threat Services
Detection, prevention and response
User Behavior Analytics
AI-powered analysis of user behavior detects anomalies: unusual access times, data volumes or systems.
Identity & Access Management
Centralized management of all identities and access rights with automatic provisioning and deprovisioning.
Privileged Access Management
Just-in-time access for administrators: time-limited, approval-based and recorded for traceability.
Network Segmentation
Microsegmentation restricts access to the absolute minimum — even in the event of compromised accounts.
DLP Policies
Granular Data Loss Prevention rules for email, USB, cloud and printing — tailored to your data classification.
Access Reviews
Regular review of all access rights: Who has access to what? Are the permissions still up to date?
Forensic Analysis
In the event of insider incidents: reconstruction of activities from the available logs, damage assessment and evidence preservation.
Policies & Compliance
Creation of security policies, acceptable use policies and compliance documentation for NIS2 and GDPR.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often before a project – with answers on process, costs and data protection.
What are insider threats?
Insider threats arise from employees, contractors or partners with legitimate access to company systems. These can be malicious actions (data theft, sabotage) or unintentional mistakes (accidental data disclosure, misconfiguration). According to the Ponemon Institute Cost of Insider Threats Report (2024), insider threats account for around 25% of all security incidents.
How do you detect insider threats?
Warning signs include: unusual access times, mass downloading of files, access to systems that aren't needed, circumvention of security policies and suspicious behavior before a termination. NovaCon implements User Behavior Analytics (UBA) to automatically detect suspicious activity.
Which measures protect against insider threats?
Effective protection includes: the least-privilege principle (minimal access rights), multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), regular access reviews, logging and monitoring of all critical access, and security awareness training.
