Detect Insider Theft
If your top sales executive left the company and took your customer database with them, would you know?
Every online organization should know that it needs to protect its data, especially customer databases. But sometimes the call is coming from inside the house! Insider theft, where an employee unlawfully takes company data, does pose a threat to businesses. Assumed offers a solution to detect and prevent such incidents, ensuring your data remains secure even when key employees leave.
The risk of insider theft
Imagine your top sales executive leaving the company and taking your customer database. Could you detect this unauthorized data transfer? With Assumed, you can use seeded contacts, or honey tokens, to know your database has been compromised, providing an essential layer of protection against insider threats. How does it do this? Well…
Seeded contacts as a detection tool
Implementing Assumed Seeds into your database is a straightforward process. Any time the contact receives any emails, calls, or texts other than the domains or numbers you set, you will be alerted that the contact has been compromised, and in turn, the list or database it was a part of. If your seeded contact suddenly starts receiving emails from your competitor, it’s a clear sign of data theft. This user-friendly feedback system allows you to identify the source of the breach and take corrective measures promptly.
Indicating data breach or misuse
These Assumed Seeds can reveal any data breach or misuse indicators. This includes detecting insider threat activities, such as stealing company-owned data. By identifying these threats early, Assumed helps you keep your sensitive information secure and maintain the integrity of your business operations.
