The Challenge: A global investment firm managing billions in assets faced a critical blind spot: they couldn’t see how identities were actually behaving inside their most important applications. Despite having SSO with MFA, endpoint detection, and a SIEM, static logs weren’t enough to catch sophisticated threats.
The Solution: ML and AI-driven identity behavior analytics that automatically learned normal user behavior and surfaced real threats from day one.
The Result: Immediate threat detection, including a compromised executive account after device theft – stopped before data exposure occurred.
“With Reveal Security, my team gained immediate visibility into how our identities interact with our critical applications & sensitive data – without months of engineering effort.”
— CISO, Global Investment Firm
As a global investment firm in a highly regulated sector, nearly all employees required unfettered access to sensitive data to conduct business. The CISO needed an unobtrusive way to monitor user activity in mission-critical applications.
The Problem: “We could pull application logs into our SIEM and even write some rules, but that’s static visibility. We weren’t seeing how identities were actually behaving inside our most important applications.”
What Didn’t Work:
The firm deployed Reveal Security to gain continuous visibility into identity activity across Google Workspace, Okta, Microsoft 365, and Island Enterprise Browser.
What Changed: Reveal’s ML and AI-driven platform automatically learned normal user and service account behavior – detecting anomalies that indicate insider threats, compromised sessions, or negligent actions.
Immediate Impact: “We were blown away by how quickly Reveal delivered value. I expected we’d need weeks of detection engineering, but the platform started surfacing meaningful insights right away.”
Faster Detection and Response
Identified anomalous activity from a legitimate executive account that had been compromised after a device theft – allowing the security team to revoke access and contain the incident before data exposure occurred.
Detected instances of employees unknowingly “oversharing” highly sensitive data, as well as data access policy violations.
Analysts no longer spend time writing or maintaining static rules. Reveal continuously learns from user behavior, surfacing only high-fidelity anomalies that warrant investigation.
“Even our newest analyst can easily understand what she’s looking at and know exactly what actions to take,” noted the CISO.
“The Reveal team has been incredibly open with us – explaining how models are built and showing us exactly where the insights come from. That level of trust is rare.”
