Insider Risk

Insider risk doesn't break rules. It breaks expectations.

Cognni learns how information normally flows across your organization, by business category, and flags the movements that don't fit. You get fewer false positives, and full context when something does happen.

Demo: 30 minutes, built around the risks you care about.

The incident question

When sensitive data leaves, how fast can you say what it was and whether it matters?

Most teams can say a file moved. Far fewer can say what was in it, who else could reach it, and how far it went.

Known

Who did something unusual

Behavior analytics flag large downloads and odd logins.

Partial

Which files moved

Logs show file names and paths, spread across systems.

Blind spot

What the data was

Whether those files were board material, pricing or HR records, and how much else was exposed.

The detection gap

Every insider risk program rests on four assumptions.

Unusual behavior means risk
Without data context, a busy week and a real threat look the same
DLP rules catch exfiltration
Insiders move documents that have no pattern to match
More alerts mean more coverage
Analysts drown, and the real signals get missed
The logs tell the story
Reconstructing an incident takes weeks of manual review

How Cognni approaches insider risk

Start from the data, then watch how it moves.

Information flow mapping

Cognni learns where each category of information normally goes: which teams, which locations, which external parties.

Anomaly detection

Movements that break the normal pattern are flagged, reducing false positives by 80% compared with rule-based alerts.

Business context on every alert

Each alert says what kind of information moved, from 400+ information types and six business categories, so triage starts with what's at stake.

Timeline reconstruction

See what was accessed, who touched it and where it went, in order, without parsing logs by hand.

Blast radius analysis

Understand how much sensitive information an incident could expose, by category, to decide how to respond.

Agentless, no user impact

API connections only. Nothing to install on endpoints and no change to how people work.

From signal to answer

Months of investigation, down to minutes.

  1. 01

    Learn normal

    Cognni classifies your information and maps how each category normally flows.

  2. 02

    Flag what doesn't fit

    Movements outside the pattern are scored by the sensitivity of the data involved.

  3. 03

    Investigate with context

    Open the timeline and blast radius, and act with the facts already in front of you.

In the investigation

The difference is what you hand to HR and Legal.

Today, most teams hand over

  • An alert and a user name
  • A log export to interpret
  • A best guess at what was exposed
  • Weeks after the fact

With Cognni, you hand over

  • What the information was, by type and category
  • The timeline of who accessed it and where it went
  • The blast radius, by category
  • Evidence gathered without agents on employee devices

Questions

Insider risk questions, answered.

How is this different from UEBA?

UEBA starts from user events. Cognni starts from the data: what the information is, how sensitive it is and where it normally goes. Activity is measured against that, which is why there are far fewer false positives.

Do we need endpoint agents?

No. Cognni is agentless and connects through APIs, with no change for your users.

Does Cognni store our content?

No. Cognni does not store the content of your files. It keeps classification results and activity metadata. See our privacy policy.
