Use Case

A large manufacturing organization becomes suspicious of potential insider threats and data exfiltration activities. To enhance their security measures and proactively address these concerns, the organization implemented Gargoyle Enterprise Manager (GEM).

During routine endpoint scanning, GEM's robust scanning engine detects the presence of an unauthorized encryption program on the suspected employee's work computer. This detection triggers an alert to the organization's security team, raising concerns about potential data protection and insider threat risks.

In addition to the unauthorized encryption program, GEM's scanning engine identifies the presence of an unauthorized steganography program on the employee's computer. This discovery adds another layer of concern, indicating potential attempts to conceal and transfer sensitive information.

As part of their investigation, the security team examines the employee's computer and discovers a significant number of encrypted files. This finding reinforces their suspicions of potential data exfiltration activities being carried out by the employee.

The detection of the unauthorized encryption program and steganography tool by GEM during routine endpoint scans plays a crucial role in the organization's investigation into potential insider threats and data exfiltration. GEM's proactive scanning capabilities enable the security team to identify suspicious activities early on and take appropriate measures to protect the organization's valuable data assets.

This use case scenario highlights how GEM's scanning engine, coupled with its ability to detect unauthorized encryption programs and steganography tools, can provide valuable insights and aid in the early detection of malicious insider activity. It emphasizes the importance of proactive endpoint scanning and the role GEM can play in enhancing an organization's security posture.

An organization recognized the growing risks associated with potential insider threats due to policy violations related to unauthorized applications. To enhance their proactive scanning efforts and mitigate these risks, the organization deployed Gargoyle Enterprise Manager (GEM). GEM leveraged its robust scanning engine and WetStone's hash-based datasets to identify unauthorized applications and tools that matched known threats in the dataset.

GEM's comprehensive scanning capabilities allowed it to compare the hashes of files on the organization's systems with the combined datasets. This process enabled GEM to identify potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) commonly associated with insider threats. Leveraging the power of its scanning engine and the rich dataset, GEM accurately detected unauthorized applications, ensuring that no potential insider threat went unnoticed.

Furthermore, GEM's support for custom YARA rules provided an added layer of flexibility in detecting potential insider threats. The organization utilized this feature to create custom YARA rules specific to their environment and security requirements. These rules allowed GEM to detect unique indicators or patterns associated with insider threats, such as unauthorized access or unusual file behavior.

By leveraging the combination of hash-matching from the datasets and the pattern recognition capabilities of custom YARA rules, GEM effectively identified potentially malicious files that insiders may have introduced or manipulated. This proactive approach enabled the organization to neutralize these threats promptly, significantly improving their security posture and minimizing the potential damage caused by insider threats.
