Use CurrentWare’s DLP and user activity monitoring features to detect high-risk and anomalous behavior before it escalates.

The top 3 insider threat actors are staff, privileged users, and contractors

Monitor and restrict the computer activity of trusted insiders to detect and prevent insider threats before they cause damage.
