Insider Threats & Third-Party Leaks: How AI Agents Detect & Un-Leak Data

Evolving Cyberthreats - Shore Up Your Defenses.

Armand here, RPost’s armadillo product evangelist. Consider today’s most sophisticated and AI-powered up insider threats, leaks, and cybercriminal eavesdropping tactics. CIOs everywhere wonder, why and how, with all one’s current security in place, peers are still being breached and information is still being leaked. Considering business-disrupting objectives of today’s GenAI powered-up cybercriminals and the strategic consequence of sensitive information leaks, it seems that it would be timely to find a new technical approach to plug overlooked risk vectors being exploited by the nefarious.

Well, if you agree that this topic is timely, read on…

See the Unseen™. Information is leaking at third parties that have lesser technical resources (and, arguably, internally). Today, you have no way to see these unseen information leaks. We will demonstrate RPost  Eavesdropping™ AI that can detect when a cybercriminal or threat actor is actively eavesdropping on communications, transactions, or documents (a) in a compromised email account internal or at a third-party, (b) being sent to an impersonator receiving replies to lookalike domain email, and/or (c) being sent from an insider that has either accidentally or maliciously leaked sensitive information.

Un-leak Leaks™. Content in sensitive documents are leaked accidentally (careless misclassification or through breaches at third parties, for example) or maliciously (screen photos of sensitive information and ‘anonymously’ shared). We will demonstrate RPost AI Security Agents that can automatically sense when an unauthorized person is attempting to view sensitive information even if this occurs at a third party, and pre-emptively automatically lock the content (like having a remote control), wherever that document content may reside; and further, provide a record that the leaked content was not seen and therefore there is no reportable breach (the art of the un-leak). We will showcase how this RPost technology uses an AI risk model, AI assistants, and AI agents to accomplish this. There are many additional capabilities, such as techniques to psychologically deter insider leakers and identifying leakers, being able to remotely control content after delivery and KILL live content that may have been put on a USB or other device, or mis-sent accidentally.

Keep in mind, these RPost solutions DO take a unique approach and plug underappreciated attack vectors. How are they unique?

Seeing anomalous activities. There are many technologies and dashboards that are scanning for unexpected activity in inbound firewalls, email gateways, internal networks and routers, and on devices. There are no other technologies (other than these RPost technologies) that can see these anomalous, unexpected content access attempts on content ***AT THIRD PARTIES*** when the content is outside of one’s network. When bad actors see this content, they can then build sophisticated, hyper-contextual, hyper-targeted, and now AI powered up impersonation lures that can lead to ransomware, data exfiltration, or financial crimes. RPost Eavesdropping AI technology can be hooked into existing outbound mail flows to uniquely and automatically provide these insights.

Agentic action to auto-lock leaked content before seen. There are some tools like Microsoft IRM that provide rights management capabilities, mainly for documents that are important or hierarchically classified within one’s organization. There are no other systems (other than RPost) that can control rights, access, and kill documents automatically based on perceived unexpected access attempts when those documents have already been legitimately shared with a third party and stored by that third party (e.g., external alliance partner, supplier, lawyer, recruiter, outsourcer, staffing contractor) ***importantly, without any storage of documents by the RPost system and without any requirements at the viewer side (no viewer or reader compliant software). RPost RDocs technology can be hooked into existing outbound mail flow or into document management systems on commercial or air-gapped networks to automatically provide these protections.
