USE CASE
Enhancing Insider Threat Detection and Reporting with Indago
Executive Summary
A federal agency tasked with protecting sensitive systems and intellectual property was ramping up its insider threat detection program. Analysts had access to logs, behavioral indicators, and OSINT—but translating fragmented data into actionable, credible reports was slow and inconsistent.
Indago empowered the insider threat team to move faster with greater accuracy—building behavioral timelines, automating source validation, and generating incident and risk reports in a fraction of the time. The platform is now embedded in the agency’s security lifecycle, enabling proactive mitigation and audit-ready documentation.
About The Analyst
The insider threat analyst supports a security and counterintelligence team tasked with detecting early warning signs of insider risk—ranging from data exfiltration and sabotage to policy violations. They work with logs, HR data, social signals, and sometimes OSINT to assess and escalate potential threats.
The Challenge
Fragmented Input Streams: Behavioral indicators came from different systems—SIEMs, HR reports, communications logs—each with its own format.
Manual Timeline Construction: Analysts built behavioral narratives by hand, often taking days to compile and review.
Documentation Sensitivity: Reports had to be source-cited, balanced, and legally defensible, especially in cases requiring escalation or disciplinary action.
Impact of the Problems
Delayed Escalation: Slow report generation impeded timely interventions.
Analyst Burnout: High cognitive load and manual synthesis led to fatigue and inconsistencies.
Compliance and Legal Exposure: Incomplete or poorly structured reports increased legal and audit risk.
Results
70% FASTER REPORT CREATION
High-risk behavioral reports now take hours instead of days to compile and deliver.
IMPROVED RISK CLARITY
Clearer narratives and supporting evidence improve executive decision-making and legal defensibility.
BETTER ANALYST EFFICIENCY
Less time spent formatting, more time focused on signal detection and cross-case correlation.
REDUCED LEGAL RISK
Traceable, unbiased, and audit-ready documentation reduces liability across HR and security teams.
Tailored Needs
The insider threat team needed:
A unified platform to track and synthesize behavioral indicators across structured and unstructured data.
Tools to rapidly generate incident summaries, risk profiles, and behavioral timelines with traceable sourcing.
Consistent templates for escalations, board briefings, and HR/legal review.
Strong access controls and collaboration features to protect sensitive investigations.
