Identity‑centric risk scoring

Lightbeam reframes risk around people. Risk Scoring unites attributes, ownership, and access into one score, so the riskiest issues get fixed first.

The Lightbeam Advantage

  • Identity‑centric risk scores across all data sources

    Siloed tools that only shout alerts, not action

  • Risk density maps surface hotspots instantly

    Manual tickets and brittle scripts that don’t scale

  • Automated remediation when risk thresholds trip

    No identity context to guide real remediation

  • Posture you can measure, trend, and prove

    Periodic reviews and delayed, manual response

Traditional Industry Approach

  • Score by attributes, owner, and exposure to fix what’s riskiest.

    Analysts swivel between consoles while risks linger and evidence fragments.

  • See sensitive data concentration and then prioritize action.

    Slow, error‑prone fixes need experts, and break as sources change.

  • Auto‑trigger revocation, quarantine, or review when risk spikes.

    Teams act blindly without knowing whose data is at stake or why.

  • Track scores, benchmark apps, and export audit‑ready evidence fast.

    Containment lags for weeks, letting ransomware or leaks spread.

From alert to outcome: remediation that runs itself, at scale

Automate least‑privilege and cleanup with identity context; Playbooks execute instantly across cloud, SaaS, and On-Prem.

Lightbeam links sensitive content to real people, then enforces policy without manual spreadsheets. When objects violate rules, open access, excessive rights, or external sharing, playbooks revoke or narrow permissions, label, archive, or delete, and log every step. Automated access revocation applies controls the moment conditions are met, cutting manual effort and drift across cloud, SaaS, and On-Prem.

Automate least‑privilege

Close the blast radius in seconds, not hours, with behavior‑aware actions and a single console from detection to resolution.

User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and Ransomware Protection watch for write spikes, mass deletes, or unusual access to sensitive folders. When behavior turns risky, Lightbeam suspends sessions, revokes rights, or quarantines files automatically, with one console from detection to fix and a clean audit trail. Copilot governance extends control to AI prompts, responses, and shared files to prevent oversharing.
