Case Study: Leading Financial Institution reduces insider threat risk with Gurucul Risk Analytics

Leading Financial Institution - Customer Case Study

Leading Financial Institution worked with Gurucul to address an escalating insider threat problem driven by employee turnover and contract-based positions. Traditional security approaches could not effectively detect malicious insiders or outsiders using compromised insider credentials, while excessive access entitlements, too much data, and limited risk-based monitoring made the environment difficult to secure.

Gurucul implemented Gurucul Risk Analytics, including Identity Analytics and User and Entity Behavior Analytics, along with professional services, PoC trials, and training to deliver a customized identity threat analytics solution. The results included a 40% reduction in excess access, expanded 24/7 security visibility across on-premises and cloud environments, faster threat discovery through risk scoring, and improved analyst productivity, with capacity increasing from 40 to 168 hours per week and an overall 300% improvement.
