Insider Threat Defense

Assess, manage, and mitigate insider risk with a practical program powered by Enclave.

New: Debuted at DEF CON 33 — our (IN)Side Threat Defense Lab and Threat Mitigation platform.

Introducing the (IN)Side Threat Defense Lab

SideChannel’s Threat Intelligence Lab centralizes research, assessment, and ongoing mitigation for insider threats—intentional or accidental—across staff, contractors, suppliers, and partners.

The Threat Defense platform is powered by Enclave to aggregate asset intelligence, vulnerability detection, microsegmentation, and more into a single pane of glass.

Why it matters

Human behavior remains a primary driver of incidents. According to Mimecast’s The State of Human Risk 2025, 95% of data breaches involve human error. Our goal is to give you clear visibility, decisive workflows, and measurable reduction of human-driven risk.

Program Leadership

Led by Lauren Trujillo, VP of Insider Threat Labs

Lauren leads the design and delivery of SideChannel’s insider threat programs—combining research, technology, and partner capabilities to make threat defense attainable for companies of all sizes. Her team aligns policy, culture, and controls with practical operations to reduce risky behaviors and protect continuity.

How the Program Works

Assess → Prioritize → Mitigate → Monitor

Assess

Rapid discovery of assets, identities, and high-risk processes. Culture and role-based risk surveys. Control gap analysis.

Prioritize

Risk scoring mapped to the seven control families below. Clear remediation roadmap and ownership.

Mitigate

Policies, training, and technical controls deployed via Enclave (e.g., microsegmentation, least-privilege access).

Monitor

Automation, alerting, and managed services to sustain improvements and prove effectiveness.

Building an insider threat program around auditable controls ensures that every action, policy, and safeguard can be measured, verified, and improved over time. By aligning with clearly defined control families, organizations not only reduce risk but also create evidence-based accountability that stands up to internal reviews, board oversight, and regulatory scrutiny.

Program ownership, policies, risk methodology, and board-level reporting.

Hiring, onboarding, training, monitoring, and offboarding aligned to risk.

Identity, endpoint, data handling, and privilege management.

Facility access, asset custody, and visitor/vendor oversight.

Detection, investigation, response, and continuity.

Lawful monitoring, worker privacy, and policy enforcement.

Access governance and monitoring for suppliers and partners.

Reduce human-driven risk.
