Mitigates the insider threat for information security and regulatory surveillance teams
About RedOwl
RedOwl was a cybersecurity company that specialized in security analytics, with a focus on insider threat detection and human risk management. The company provided a platform that offered visibility into anomalous employee behavior, aiming to prevent data breaches and security incidents originating from within an organization.
Read full description
Its main product, Reveal, was a user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) platform that monitored and analyzed human-led activities to identify high-risk individuals and potential threats. The platform collected data from various sources, including email, chat, file sharing, and other corporate applications, to create a baseline of normal user behavior. By applying machine learning and behavioral analytics, the system could detect deviations from this baseline that might indicate malicious or negligent actions. RedOwl targeted enterprise clients, particularly in the financial services and government sectors, where the risk of insider threats is a significant concern. The business model was based on selling subscriptions to its software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.
In 2017, RedOwl was acquired by Forcepoint, a global cybersecurity leader. The acquisition was a strategic move for Forcepoint to enhance its human-centric security portfolio by integrating RedOwl's UEBA capabilities. This allowed Forcepoint to strengthen its offerings in insider threat protection and provide a more comprehensive solution for understanding and mitigating human risk within enterprises.
