Hi, I'm Sophia, Lightbeam's AI product guide.
I help security teams understand where sensitive data exists, who can
access it, and where it may be exposed.
In this short walkthrough, I'll show you how Lightbeam uses AI to discover
sensitive data, connect it to identities, and help reduce risk across your
environment. What would you like to explore?
The real problem in a ransomware event is not just detecting encryption, it is
knowing which sensitive data was touched and whose access needs to be cut before
the blast radius grows. Lightbeam ties sensitive files to real
identities, spots the write and delete patterns that signal
ransomware, and can automatically revoke access so you contain the incident in
seconds. Let me pull up how ransomware-style file activity gets tied to
real identities, so containment happens in seconds.
Going ahead, we define the policies that actually detect risky behavior
and trigger actions, turning noisy alerts into automatic
mitigations and cutting manual exposure.
Next, this view surfaces the ransomware policies and alerts you've configured,
giving you a single pane to see what's been triggered and where to focus
containment.
The Create New Rule Set screen lets you codify exact ransomware
thresholds, like encrypted file counts, so the system knows
precisely what constitutes an incident.
From here, you tie those thresholds to specific data sources such as
OneDrive or SharePoint, ensuring the rule only fires where your critical
assets reside and reducing false positives.
Right after that, you configure who gets alerted and at what severity, routing
notifications directly to the owners of the affected data sources to
eliminate handoff delays. Moving on, you attach an automation,
suspend the user, or lock the folder, so the moment the encrypted file count
exceeds the limit, the response is immediate without manual steps.
Finally, the success screen confirms the policy is live, meaning you now have
continuous ransomware detection and automatic containment, cutting
potential breach impact from days to seconds.
