The Challenge
Strong Access Controls. Limited Visibility After Login.
The firm had invested heavily in identity and security controls, including SSO, MFA, endpoint security, and SIEM. But once users authenticated, the security team lacked clear visibility into what identities were actually doing inside critical applications.
Key challenges included:
The Approach
Understanding Identity Behavior Across Systems
The firm deployed Reveal to continuously analyze identity behavior after login across key business applications and infrastructure.
Reveal learned normal behavior for users and service accounts and surfaced deviations that indicated identity threats and misuse — without relying on static rules, indicators, or lengthy tuning cycles.
What Changed
From Logs to Investigation-Ready Insight
With Reveal in place, the security team was able to:
- Detect identity threats that blended into normal activity
- Identify risky behavior from valid credentials
- Reduce reliance on manual log review and rule creation
- Act earlier in the identity attack lifecycle
Why It Mattered
Reducing Identity Risk Without Adding Operational Drag
By gaining visibility into identity behavior after login, the firm closed a critical security gap – detecting insider misuse and credential abuse earlier, without adding agents, new rules, or operational overhead.
