Insider threats hide in plain sight. MIND’s context-aware detection understands every action in real time, keeping your data safe.

In today’s hybrid workplace, insider threats are one of the hardest risks to detect. Why? Because they look like regular activity—until it’s too late.

Your users interact with sensitive data every day. But when that data is accessed, moved or shared in unusual ways, most traditional tools can’t tell the difference between an honest mistake and a harmful breach.

MIND was built to change that. Our platform puts insider risk management on autopilot by using intelligent context to determine what’s normal, what’s not, and what needs your attention now.

What is context-aware detection?

Context-aware detection is MIND’s intelligent way of interpreting behavior.

It doesn’t just log what happened. It understands:

  • Who performed the action
  • What sensitive data was involved
  • When, where and how it occurred

Instead of drowning teams in alerts, MIND delivers precise, prioritized insights so you can focus on true risk—not log noise.

Personalized risk awareness

Context-aware detection is MIND’s intelligent approach to identifying threats with precision. Rather than relying solely on static rules, MIND evaluates the full picture of each action—who performed it, what data was involved, where it occurred and whether it aligns with organizational policies.

It applies layered intelligence to each event. By combining data classification, access patterns, user roles and destination insights, MIND connects the dots in real time. This helps teams understand whether a file transfer involves sensitive data, whether it’s being sent to an authorized location, and whether the activity violates any predefined guardrails.

Real-time insight with purposeful action

MIND gives you the full narrative behind every alert, connecting user activity across endpoints, cloud services, messaging platforms and storage systems. You don’t just see what happened—you understand what it means.

This real-time insight is paired with policy-driven automation. From blocking risky actions to coaching users toward safer behavior, MIND enables you to respond in ways that are precise, timely and impactful. Whether you're preventing data from leaving your environment or resolving a policy violation before it escalates, MIND empowers your team to take confident, meaningful action—without the noise.

Built for today’s complexity

Modern businesses operate across a fragmented digital landscape. Sensitive data moves between endpoints, cloud platforms, Gen AI apps and collaborative tools.

MIND is designed to meet that complexity head-on. Our AI-powered engine classifies data in real time, reduces alert noise and adapts to your evolving environment—without slowing you down.

Customers using MIND report fewer false positives, faster investigation times and less time spent on repetitive, manual reviews.

Context-aware detection gave us clarity. No more alert fatigue—just focused, actionable insight.
