Code42 Software, Inc., the leader in data loss and insider threat protection, is announcing the launch of its Proactive Risk Identification and Severity Model (PRISM), a three-dimensional context analysis solution for surfacing risk-related insights across data, users, and destinations. Providing a manageable data protection workflow for security analysts, PRISM is engineered to help save analysts time in an otherwise overburdened field.
Citing its “2024 Data Exposure Report,” Code42’s PRISM is born from the fact that insider-driven data incidents have increased by 28% since 2021, yet 79% of cybersecurity leaders feel as though they lack the necessary talent to handle today’s security complexities. To help mitigate the pains of cybersecurity, PRISM aids in optimizing analyst workflows through stronger detection, prioritization, and automated handling of data loss events.
“The truth about insider-driven data loss is that security analysts spend the majority of their time triaging events that could have been handled through automation,” said Rob Juncker, CTO of Code42. “It’s more important than ever to help overburdened and under-resourced teams focus their attention on truly critical events that require analyst intervention. This takes an intelligent application of the context around an event.”
This event context-centric approach empowers analysts to focus on more crucial tasks—while PRISM automates its response based on severity—as determined by its scoring system. This ensures that analysts catch the most important issues, investigate fewer events, and automate response controls for most of the activity, according to Code42.
“We developed PRISM to not only accurately prioritize event severity, but to also ensure practitioners can automate response to a wider range of risks in order to address data loss more comprehensively and with less effort,” continued Juncker.
As opposed to relying on policies or rule sets like traditional data protection solutions, PRISM analyzes 250-plus risk indicators regarding data, users, and destinations and weighs them according to their severity. Once evaluated, PRISM executes its automated response or elevates the issue to the security team—which, according to Code42, happens with only a fraction of a percentage of events.
