Every organization sees risk differently. You decide what matters. Build custom risk policies around the activity, access, and behaviors that matter to your organization, assign their risk value, and let Better Access Manager automatically flag activity when those policies are triggered.
- What a policy can watch Data exports and downloads, after-hours activity, unexpected locations, admin and permission changes, deletions, guest access and sharing, critical boards and data, and more.
