I’m annoying the office by talking about my current favorite trashy movie — Hurricane Heist. It’s a movie that sounds like it should have been on SYFY after Sharknado 8. The plot is about bad guys that want to steal 300 million dollars from the US Treasury office in Gulfport, Alabama during a Category 5 hurricane.

Before we go on, I’m going to spoil the movie. Though, let me be clear. There’s nothing to verbally spoil. The plot isn’t important to this movie. The fun parts are just the crazy stunts involving the storm. But, more importantly for our conversation, the movie plot centers on the fact that an insider at the treasury decides to help the bad guys rob the bank.

That helps reinforce an important fact that I recently learned. The way I heard it, at least 40% of all fraudulent transactions over a million dollars involves an insider’s help. Just like the movie.

The SPGateway can help prevent that.

When you configure applications to use the SPGateway, it can feed all of the transactional data through to your SIEM system where it can be analyzed. If something suspicious is found, it’s very easy to create a rule to block that user from accessing the system.

Though, to be candid – that’s an advanced use case. What you should start with is much simpler: identify who is actually using the applications, and determine if they should be accessing those applications at all.

It surprises many folks that most organizations simply can’t even answer this basic fact.
