people - vendors, privileged users and high-risk users - who pose the biggest

insider threat."

    "Insider threats are the single largest risk facing companies today.  Any

company that feels it is immune to this risk simply needs to read the

headline-grabbing news about the latest breaches at the NSA, arguably one of

the most secure organizations on the planet," said Mike McKee, CEO of ObserveIT.

    Every insider on an organization's network, from business users and

privileged users to 3rd party vendors, presents a threat. ObserveIT identifies

and eliminates these insider threats with real-time security awareness,

deterrence and visibility into user actions via its industry-leading video

playback capabilities. This insight speeds investigations from months to

minutes and helps organizations comply with PCI, SOX, HIPAA, NISPOM, GDPR and

other compliance requirements.

- Out-of-the-box Insider Threat Library including 180 categorized rules that

decrease risk within hours of deploying the software.     

- Simple Alert Management via new user and group lists.     

- Anonymization option to guarantee employee privacy and comply with EU

regulation.     

- New Mac Agent to support Mac desktops, laptops and servers in addition to

existing OS support for Windows and 17 flavors of Unix and Linux.     

- New Trend Graph to track user risk behavior over time.     

- Automated Categorization of Over 28 Billion Web Pages.     

- Detection of Sensitive Data Exfiltration through Print.

    ObserveIT 6.7 is available today and upgrades from previous versions are
