Your biggest data risk isn't outside the perimeter, it's trusted users quietly moving sensitive files. Palo Alto Networks Behavioral Threats streamlines insider risk management by transforming complex user activity into automated defense. By pairing intelligent watchlists and chronological investigation timelines with real-time policy enforcement, security teams can pinpoint, investigate, and neutralize high-risk user threats before data leaves the enterprise.
Surface Your Most Risky Users
Not every risky user deserves the same response. Intelligent Watchlists, configurable risk amplifiers, and customizable policy weights to stack rank policies automatically elevate high risky users during triage, so critical patterns are highlighted and risky patterns don't get buried.

Investigate The Why Behind the Risk
The new User Activity Timeline reconstructs a user’s policy violations and activities in chronological order. Analysts can quickly understand the factors driving a risk score, identify behavioral patterns over time, and accelerate investigations with the context needed to make confident decisions.

Turn Risk into Control
Leverage Behavioral Threat refined risk scores for policy enforcements via connecting behavioral risk directly to Cloud Dynamic User Groups (CDUG) through Cloud Identity Engine (CIE). Using dynamic groups, users will be added automatically to the group which can be used in enforcing security policies without any manual intervention.
Built for Accountability
Behavioral Threat provides comprehensive audit logging for policy weight changes, watchlist management, risk resets, and other administrative actions. It gives organizations the traceability and supporting context needed for compliance, investigations, reviews and governance. Behavioral Threat is now generally available with CASB-X and CASB-PA licenses.
