Prevention is the key process of incident management – it is better to discover reasons and sources of a possible security breach than to fight consequences.

And that’s why:

It is important to remember that time is the key parameter of a human factor incident investigation.
An automated profiling is among the instruments which allow to solve human-related problems and prevent incidents. The system includes tools for psychodiagnostics which help to “scan” a person quickly and reliably, understand one’s peculiarities and communicate efficiently, forecast behavior.
Profiling is based on psychology and criminalistics. The elements of this technology are used during an investigation and as a means to fight terrorism.
A mining company had experienced a financial loss. The source of the crime couldn’t be tracked down, and about 20 people became suspects. A profiler applied group profiling methods and techniques and narrowed the number of possible violators down to 2 persons. The next day an offender confessed and brought back the stolen money.
Try the automated technology and make sure you know your team
Despite obvious rationality, conducting such a performance “manually” is a time consuming job. Profiling 30-40 employees regularly can take a lot of time.
An automated forecast and integration of profiling instruments into a DLP functionality – such an ambitious goal was set by SearchInform.
Besides labor cost reduction, automated profiling lets you be cautious when dealing with an insider, avoid negativity escalation within a team, conduct an investigation and preliminary diagnosis not drawing too much attention of the staff.
SearchInform conducts investigations, develops automated methods for behavioral prognosis. ProfileCenter is a module integrated into the SearchInform DLP.
