Research finds that 8% of employees contribute to 80% of a company’s security incidents. Amplifying the problem, there’s no reliable method to pinpoint these users in order to apply corrective security measures. Elevate Security solves this problem by helping identify ‘at-risk’ individuals and automating your response and safeguards. Elevate Security’s cloud-based platform ingests and aggregates data from across your enterprise to identify and score user risk based on real-world behaviors and attack history. Security teams use this intelligence to automate actions that drive measurable behavioral change; trigger conditional identity and access governance; and strengthen security operations controls. Elevate Security is trusted by leading enterprises in industries such as financial services, technology, healthcare, and more to get ahead of workforce risk and reduce the likelihood of a data breach.
