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.<\/p>\n

J2 is utilising the power of the cloud to provide customers with fast, accurate and up to date risk reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cSystemSkan is an effective tool to fight insider cyber threats for businesses of all sizes,\u201d says John Mc Loughlin, J2 managing director.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a tiny micro-agent deployed to each machine or the primary host server where we use Virtual Desktops.\u201d<\/p>\n

How SystemSkan works<\/h3>\n

SystemSkan gives clients access to unique user data not available in existing logs with no noticeable end user change or impact.<\/p>\n

The SystemSkan solution is scalable to beyond 100,000 devices and can also provide anonymised data to ensure end user privacy when required.<\/p>\n

SystemSkan takes the large amount of information and aggregates this using built in intelligence to provide Advanced Human Analytics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SystemSkan Intelligence Framework gives you direct insight in to what is really happening across your estate,\u201d adds Mc Loughlin.<\/p>\n

SystemSkan will provide user profiling by learning what a user does as part of their usual routine.<\/p>\n

Changes to behaviour are the first flag that a user has become disengaged, is taking data or is looking to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reporting engine has built in over 330 algorithms to point you instantly to where your business risks are,\u201d says Mc Loughlin.<\/p>\n

What makes SystemSkan stand out<\/h3>\n

The SystemSkan solution provides the clear visibility and analytics needed to find both malicious insiders and employees who accidentally put the company at risk.<\/p>\n

Common findings include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 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.<\/li>\n
  • Failed Security Controls – See which controls employees have figured out how to bypass, or that aren’t configured properly.<\/li>\n
  • Malicious Employees – Spot employees who are using corporate equipment for illegal activity or are trying to sabotage corporate systems.<\/li>\n
  • Off-Network Risky Behaviour – Fill the visibility gap that most organizations have – understand what users are doing with corporate devices while offline.<\/li>\n
  • Fraud and Embezzlement – Detect the theft of inventory and\/or customer data for sale to external parties.<\/li>\n
  • Accidental Misuse – Accidents by insiders leave your organization exposed. Find and train staff who are making the most serious mistakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Stay protected with SystemSkan<\/h3>\n

    As external attackers become more sophisticated, reliance on signatures and even heuristics to detect cybercrime becomes less effective.<\/p>\n

    SystemSkan automatically builds a profile of each users\u2019 normal activity, and alerts security teams to anomalies.<\/p>\n

    SystemSkan picks up indicators of compromise like unusual use of admin \/ hacking tools, unusual transfers or consolidation of data, and unusual after-hours activity,\u201d Mc Loughlin explains.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWhen 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.<\/p>\n

    Why you need SystemSkan<\/h3>\n

    Typical IT asset management tools fail to provide visibility into usage data.<\/p>\n

    To dramatically lower costs on enterprise software, organizations need visibility into user activity.<\/p>\n

    SystemSkan provides usage based data and analysis capabilities that lets CIOs and CTOs make data-based decisions instead of pure guesswork.<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    SystemSkan answers common IT support questions in seconds that can take hours or even days with other systems:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. An employee left the company – what files did they take with them?<\/li>\n
    2. A user “lost” a file somewhere on the network – where is it?<\/li>\n
    3. A laptop was lost or stolen – what data was on it?<\/li>\n
    4. Which systems have an increase in hanging \/ not responding conditions?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
