Cyberhaven Insider Risk Management

Overview

Cyberhaven Insider Risk Management is paid software for detecting and investigating employee-related data risks. It is best suited to security teams that need to connect activity across channels and retain a lasting incident record. Its strength is the breadth and continuity of that context; teams seeking a simple, low-cost tool should look elsewhere.

Key features

Correlated activity and risk scoring

Cyberhaven collects behavior across cloud services, devices, messaging, email, and apps, then links related events across platforms. Because it retains event records indefinitely, investigators can connect activity separated by weeks or months instead of relying only on a short window around an alert. Risk scores account for data sensitivity and can include organization-defined user risk groups, giving security teams a way to prioritize reviews around both the information involved and the users they have chosen to monitor.

Exfiltration controls

The product can detect and block movement of data through cloud services, email, websites, removable storage, Apple AirDrop, and other channels. It also flags name or extension changes to files containing sensitive data and can block subsequent exfiltration. That combination is useful when teams want controls to follow a file through changing circumstances, though its breadth is most valuable where security staff can investigate and tune responses.

Investigation and evidence

Cyberhaven remotely captures user actions related to data and stores forensic events in its cloud for post-incident investigation. For content-based policies, an incident can include a highlighted excerpt showing the match; optional screenshots and highlighted content matches are stored in the customer's cloud. Keeping evidence in the customer's repository offers a choice about where that material resides, while the forensic event store remains in Cyberhaven's cloud.

Operations and integrations

Out-of-the-box dashboards and customizable reporting support routine review, while standard or custom roles with configurable permissions help control access. Integrations cover directory services, SIEM and SOAR platforms, cloud applications, and customer cloud repositories. Native SIEM integration includes Splunk, and an API exposes incidents to third-party security tools. These connections suit teams fitting insider-risk work into an existing security stack rather than operating a standalone investigation process.

Cyberhaven's Trust Center lists CCPA, GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO/IEC 27701:2019, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, PCI DSS v4.0.1, and SOC 2 Type 2. Support engineers are available 9:00 AM–5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday; the support portal and self-service resources are accessible 24/7.

Pricing

Cyberhaven is paid software with custom pricing. The price is available on request, so teams should seek a quote before comparing its cost with alternatives. No tiered plan or free option is described, making it less suitable for buyers who need transparent self-serve pricing to shortlist products.

Platforms

Cyberhaven supports API, browser extension, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. That range can accommodate mixed environments, though the platform list alone does not establish how deployment works for a particular organization.

Who it's for

This is aimed at security teams investigating insider risk, with watchlists, user risk groups, reporting, and incident-response workflows. Its long-term event correlation and multi-channel controls are most compelling for organizations that need to reconstruct data movement over time. Cyberhaven lists technology and SaaS, manufacturing, professional services, financial services, and healthcare among its supported industries.

Pros and cons

• Long investigation window: indefinite event retention and correlation across weeks or months help reconstruct incidents that unfold gradually.
• Broad movement controls: blocking spans cloud, email, websites, removable storage, and AirDrop, with file-change detection adding another point for intervention.
• Evidence and stack integration: forensic events, customer-cloud evidence storage, SIEM connectivity, and an incident API support established investigation workflows.
• Custom pricing: buyers must request a quote, so straightforward price comparison is harder than with published per-user plans.
• Support hours: direct engineer availability is limited to weekdays, even though portal and self-service resources remain open around the clock.

Verdict

Choose Cyberhaven if your security team needs to trace insider-related data activity across channels and preserve context for investigations well beyond the initial alert. Its combination of indefinite event retention, risk scoring, blocking, and evidence workflows is the reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if transparent pricing or direct support outside weekday business hours is a priority.
