Cyberhaven Insider Risk Management

Overview

Cyberhaven Insider Risk Management is paid software that combines data awareness and behavioral signals to detect and stop insider threats. It suits security teams that need to investigate user activity and protect sensitive data across multiple channels. Its appeal is the combination of long-term activity correlation, risk scoring and exfiltration controls; custom pricing and weekday-only engineer support may matter to teams assessing cost or urgent response coverage.

Key features

Behavior correlation and risk scoring

Cyberhaven collects behavior across cloud services, devices, messaging, email and apps, then correlates related events across platforms. It retains event records indefinitely, so investigators can connect activity separated by weeks or months rather than being confined to a short incident window. Risk scores incorporate data sensitivity and can include organization-defined user risk groups, helping teams prioritize review by both the information involved and the users they have chosen to flag.

Exfiltration controls

The product can block data exfiltration through cloud services, email, websites, removable storage, Apple AirDrop and other channels. It also flags changes to the name or extension of files containing sensitive data and can block later attempts to exfiltrate them. This breadth fits teams seeking controls across varied routes; it will be less compelling for organizations that need only a narrow channel-specific safeguard.

Investigation evidence and reporting

Cyberhaven remotely captures user actions related to data and stores forensic events in its cloud for post-incident investigation. For content-based policy incidents, a highlighted excerpt shows the matching content; optional screenshots and highlighted matches are stored in the customer's cloud. The distinction matters for evidence handling: forensic events reside in Cyberhaven's cloud, while the optional incident evidence can be kept in the customer's cloud. Dashboards, customizable reports and configurable standard or custom roles support review and access control.

Integrations and compliance

Integrations cover directory services, SIEM and SOAR platforms, cloud applications and customer cloud repositories for incident evidence. Native SIEM integration includes Splunk, and an API exposes incidents to third-party security tools. 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.

Pricing

Cyberhaven is a paid product with custom pricing; there is no published plan price to compare. Buyers should request a quote and assess it against their required coverage and investigation workflows. No lower-cost tier or trial terms are established for comparison, so teams that need predictable per-seat pricing before engaging a vendor may prefer a more transparent option.

Platforms

Cyberhaven supports API, browser extension, Linux, macOS, web and Windows. That range suits organizations with mixed desktop environments and security workflows that connect through APIs. Platform support alone does not establish that every control works identically across each environment.

Who it's for

The product is aimed at security teams investigating insider risk, with watchlists, user risk groups, reporting and incident-response workflows. Its coverage of technology and SaaS, manufacturing, professional services, financial services and healthcare points to a broad range of organizational settings. Teams should also weigh support coverage: engineers are available 9:00 AM–5:00 PM ET Monday through Friday, while the support portal and self-service resources remain available 24/7. Organizations needing engineer assistance outside those hours should consider that constraint.

Pros and cons

Pros: Indefinite event retention and correlation across weeks or months give investigators continuity for extended inquiries.

Pros: Blocking spans cloud, email, websites, removable storage and AirDrop, with file-change detection adding a way to respond to altered sensitive files.

Pros: Risk scores combine data sensitivity with organization-defined user risk groups, supporting prioritization around organizational concerns.

Cons: Custom pricing makes it harder to assess cost before requesting a quote.

Cons: Support engineers are available only on weekdays during stated ET business hours, which may not fit teams that require round-the-clock human support.

Cons: Forensic events are stored in Cyberhaven's cloud, while optional screenshots and highlighted matches are stored in the customer's cloud; teams should account for that split when setting evidence-handling requirements.

Alternatives

Consider CurrentWare Data Loss Prevention if a priced entry point for device control and DLP is more useful: its AccessPatrol (Standalone) plan is $12 a month (billed annual), though on-prem pricing requires contacting Sales. Choose Proofpoint Email DLP and Encryption as an alternative to compare for email DLP and encryption. Teramind Insider Risk Management is another paid alternative, with a free trial and support for Linux, macOS, web, Windows, API and self-hosted deployment; its Enterprise plan has custom pricing.

Safetica Insider Risk Management may suit buyers who want per-user annual pricing: its Standard plan is $72 a year, priced annually per user, and starts at $72, with five reports, five admin accounts and 12 months of data retention. Its Premium plan is another option to compare. Anexet Insider Threat Detection offers another paid alternative, with Standard and Advanced plans. DTEX Insider Risk Management is worth comparing for teams considering a paid insider-risk product with Linux, macOS, web and Windows support; its pricing is custom. NetClean ProActive is another paid option. Veriato Insider Risk Management may fit buyers considering a custom quote based on product and number of users; its IRM plan has a 20-user minimum.

Verdict

Choose Cyberhaven if your security team needs to connect data-related behavior over long periods and combine investigation evidence with controls that can block exfiltration across many channels. Look elsewhere if upfront, transparent pricing or weekday-only engineer coverage does not fit your operating requirements.
