Built for networks where
the credential is the threat.

Personam was built for the insider threat problem as government defines it: detection that does not depend on signatures, on agents running where they cannot run, or on a credential being trustworthy. That requirement shaped the architecture, and it is the same architecture running commercially today.

The Environment

Where perimeter and identity controls stop being enough.

Government networks are among the most heavily controlled environments in existence, and that is precisely the problem. Once an actor holds a valid credential, every control in the path confirms they belong. Access is authorized. Authentication succeeds. The activity is indistinguishable from work.

Behavior against its own baseline and peersOut of family
Every control answers the question it was built to answer. Only the last one asks whether this entity is behaving the way it always has.

Why the architecture fits government constraints.

🔒

Deploys with zero egress

For high-sensitivity environments, Personam runs fully on-premise inside your network: no cloud data plane, no telemetry egress, updates delivered as software installs. Standard deployments send only encrypted metadata to the Personam cloud.

📡

No agents on endpoints

Personam observes network behavior from a mirror port. Systems that cannot accept software, cannot be patched, or cannot be touched at all are still fully monitored.

🧠

No signatures to maintain

Behavior is compared against each entity’s own established baseline and against its peers. There is no feed to subscribe to and no rules to author for threats nobody has seen.

Human Command

Personam surfaces a prioritized investigation and waits for a person to decide. It does not take autonomous action on any system, which matters where an automated response carries consequences.

What It Catches

Behavior that clears the usual checks.

🔑

The credential in the wrong hands

A valid account authenticating successfully, then reaching systems and data outside anything that account has touched before.

🛡️

The cleared insider

An authorized person whose access scope expands quietly past their peer group. Every action permitted, the pattern unlike their own history.

🔗

Contractor and vendor paths

Third-party connections that behave differently from every prior session on the same account, including access to systems outside the engagement.

🛠️

Lateral movement using trusted tools

Administrative utilities already present in the environment, used by an account that has never used them, moving toward systems it has never reached.

Frameworks

Mapped to the controls you already report against.

Continuous monitoring, anomaly detection, insider threat capability, and audit evidence produced as a byproduct of the detection operation rather than as a separate exercise.

FISMA

Continuous monitoring

Ongoing behavioral monitoring across users, devices, and network segments, with anomaly detection that does not depend on prior knowledge of the threat.

NISPOM

Insider threat program

Behavioral deviation surfaced across cleared-facility networks, narrowing analyst review to a fraction of the monitored population.

CMMC

Level 2 monitoring requirements

Monitoring, detection, and identification of unauthorized use, mapped against the published assessment objectives behind each requirement.

Asset visibility

Network map and inventory

Every IP-connected entity discovered and profiled from its first packet, including systems that cannot host an agent.

Run it against your own traffic.

The fastest way to evaluate Personam is to point it at a mirror port and see what surfaces in your environment.
