Case Study: Plaid achieves faster insider threat detection with Cyberhaven

Plaid reduces insider threat investigations from hours to minutes with Cyberhaven

Plaid, a data network that powers financial tools, faced challenges in scaling security within its 100% AWS cloud environment. They needed to detect insider-driven data misuse and gain coverage across both known and unknown threats, which cloud-native environments did not provide by default. To address this, they turned to Cyberhaven for its insider threat detection and data lineage capabilities.

By implementing Cyberhaven's solution, Plaid gained transformational visibility into how sensitive data moved across its systems. This allowed the team to rapidly investigate potential threats and reduce hours of manual forensic work down to minutes. The vendor, Cyberhaven, provided clear, evidence-backed answers that increased leadership's confidence and fundamentally shifted Plaid's insider risk posture by creating a meaningful deterrent against data exfiltration.
