Teramind combines privacy-first insider threat monitoring with user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), covering human operations and agentic AI across an organization. Teramind monitors actions taken by human employees and by non-human identities and agentic AI tools executing tasks on the endpoint. Teramind assigns dynamic risk scores to incidents using machine learning models so security teams can focus on urgent threats. Teramind employs customizable rule engines to block unauthorized uploads, risky file access, or suspicious data movement in real-time. Teramind delivers forensic evidence through session replays, OCR keyword indexing, and detailed activity timelines. Teramind gathers activity logs under privacy safeguards that include Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC), end-to-end data masking for PII/PHI, and compliance alignment with GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2. Teramind moves departing staff into elevated monitoring profiles 30 to 90 days before their departure date, restricting personal cloud connections and bulk file exports. Teramind applies targeted monitoring to external accounts without installing infrastructure on non-owned endpoints. Teramind establishes oversight for users with administrative privileges or elevated permissions.^[7][8]
