Case Study: Ashton Financial achieves rapid detection and prevention of insider data theft with Veriato Investigator

Ashton Financial - Customer Case Study

Ashton Financial, after being blindsided by an embezzling bookkeeper, needed to prevent future insider threats. Senior executive and de facto network admin Chuck Benedon searched for comprehensive employee and computer monitoring and selected Veriato’s Investigator product to detect and stop malicious activity before it escalated.

Veriato implemented Veriato Investigator and within 24 hours its snapshots revealed an employee producing problematic documents, allowing immediate confrontation and remediation. The software uncovered subsequent attempts to exfiltrate sensitive data (including customer lists) via email, provided clear evidentiary screenshots, and was credited with stopping theft early—detecting threats the first day and preventing loss of critical company data.
