SystemSkan combines an incredibly lightweight micro-agent on each endpoint with a powerful server-based analysis engine to deliver security, visibility, and cost saving solutions.
J2 is utilising the power of the cloud to provide customers with fast, accurate and up to date risk reports.
“SystemSkan is an effective tool to fight insider cyber threats for businesses of all sizes,” says John Mc Loughlin, J2 managing director.
“There is a tiny micro-agent deployed to each machine or the primary host server where we use Virtual Desktops.”
How SystemSkan works
SystemSkan gives clients access to unique user data not available in existing logs with no noticeable end user change or impact.
The SystemSkan solution is scalable to beyond 100,000 devices and can also provide anonymised data to ensure end user privacy when required.
SystemSkan takes the large amount of information and aggregates this using built in intelligence to provide Advanced Human Analytics.
“The SystemSkan Intelligence Framework gives you direct insight in to what is really happening across your estate,” adds Mc Loughlin.
SystemSkan will provide user profiling by learning what a user does as part of their usual routine.
Changes to behaviour are the first flag that a user has become disengaged, is taking data or is looking to leave.
“The reporting engine has built in over 330 algorithms to point you instantly to where your business risks are,” says Mc Loughlin.
What makes SystemSkan stand out
The SystemSkan solution provides the clear visibility and analytics needed to find both malicious insiders and employees who accidentally put the company at risk.
Common findings include:
- Theft of Intellectual Property – Detect the theft of sensitive data (by internal and external actors) that other security systems miss. Predict the flight risk for departing employees.
- Failed Security Controls – See which controls employees have figured out how to bypass, or that aren’t configured properly.
- Malicious Employees – Spot employees who are using corporate equipment for illegal activity or are trying to sabotage corporate systems.
- Off-Network Risky Behaviour – Fill the visibility gap that most organizations have – understand what users are doing with corporate devices while offline.
- Fraud and Embezzlement – Detect the theft of inventory and/or customer data for sale to external parties.
- Accidental Misuse – Accidents by insiders leave your organization exposed. Find and train staff who are making the most serious mistakes.
Stay protected with SystemSkan
As external attackers become more sophisticated, reliance on signatures and even heuristics to detect cybercrime becomes less effective.
SystemSkan automatically builds a profile of each users’ normal activity, and alerts security teams to anomalies.
SystemSkan picks up indicators of compromise like unusual use of admin / hacking tools, unusual transfers or consolidation of data, and unusual after-hours activity,” Mc Loughlin explains.
“When used in combination with your threat intel feeds and/or perimeter security tools, SystemSkan can also be used to identify compromised machines and the source of an attack.
Why you need SystemSkan
Typical IT asset management tools fail to provide visibility into usage data.
To dramatically lower costs on enterprise software, organizations need visibility into user activity.
SystemSkan provides usage based data and analysis capabilities that lets CIOs and CTOs make data-based decisions instead of pure guesswork.
For call centres, outsourced operations, and any operation where throughput matters, use SystemSkan to clearly understand the differences between highly performing teams and poorly performing teams.
Use human analytics to understand what systems, resources, and sources of information are used by highly performing teams, and build training programs to address the gaps.
SystemSkan answers common IT support questions in seconds that can take hours or even days with other systems:
- An employee left the company – what files did they take with them?
- A user “lost” a file somewhere on the network – where is it?
- A laptop was lost or stolen – what data was on it?
- Which systems have an increase in hanging / not responding conditions?
