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 is that insider risk usually hides inside normal-looking
access, so teams miss the moment a trusted user starts touching sensitive
data in ways that break their baseline.
LightBeam uses a data identity graph to tie behavior to the
sensitivity of what was accessed, so abnormal activity rises with the
right context and can be contained fast.
I'm pulling up how insider risk stands out once abnormal access to sensitive
data is weighted by what actually matters.
Going ahead, we define detection rules that flag suspicious user
activity and ransomware-style behavior, so the system can act automatically
without overwhelming you with alerts.
Next, we set thresholds for bulk downloads and abnormal reads,
enabling the platform to surface insider threat signals the moment they emerge.
After that, the alerts pane ties those signals to SharePoint and OneDrive
activity, letting analysts pinpoint the exact collaboration service where the
risky behavior occurred.
From here, the incident view highlights the specific files flagged so you can
assess whether PII was truly exposed or the rule was a false positive.
Right after, you see which user triggered the event and the timestamp, allowing a
rapid judgment between normal usage and a compromised account.
Moving on, Incident 1007 displays a detailed trail of excessive
PII downloads, and you can launch remediation actions directly from that
incident screen.
Following that, the consolidated activity list aggregates all threshold
breaches with their timestamps, giving you a proactive governance
dashboard.
And then, the actions panel lets you suspend the offending user or add
them to a permit list in a single click, instantly cutting off the data
exfiltration path.
Now, confirming the suspension records an immutable audit entry, ensuring
the insider threat is closed and compliance evidence is ready.
