Every CISO and security engineer eventually has to face: they no longer own their network.
In the era of the decentralized office, the traditional perimeter hasn't just been breached; it has evaporated. It vanished the moment an employee signed up for an AI tool using their corporate email. It vanished when a department stood up a SaaS suite on a personal credit card. It vanishes every time an employee decides that convenience is more important than your security policy.
Shadow IT is a reality. Gartner estimates that by 2027, 75% of your employees are likely using tools you didn't approve, didn't vet, and simply cannot see.¹
The Risk of the Unknown
We often treat Shadow IT as an administrative nuisance or a "SaaS sprawl" problem for the finance team. But for security, Shadow IT is a massive, unmanaged attack surface. When you don’t have user behavior analytics, you aren’t just flying blind; you’re responsible for a network that is being rewired by your users in real-time. This forensic gap is where breaches live. It’s the hours spent wondering if a DNS alert was a false positive or a user pasting proprietary source code into a public LLM. Without context, your Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) isn't measured in minutes; it’s measured in days of guesswork.
Turning the Lights On
We didn't build CyberSight to add another dashboard to your rotation. We built it because you cannot defend what you cannot see.
By integrating deeply with the Windows Roaming Client, CyberSight captures the granular narrative of user behavior that DNS alone misses. It turns "unidentified traffic" into a clear, chronological story.
DNS Logs vs. CyberSight: The Evidence Gap
| Feature | Standard DNS Logs | CyberSight Intelligence |
| Destination | Domain level (e.g., ai.com) | Full URL path (e.g., ai.com/v1/chat/upload) |
| User Intent | Unknown | Contextual (Logs, locks, and active vs. idle state) |
| SaaS Instance | Sees "The App" | Distinguishes Corporate vs. Personal accounts |
|
Attribution |
IP / Device + User Name | Specific User Profile + Device State |
| Forensic Trail | Often limited by storage | 365-day searchable history |
Real-World Context: The "Idle-Time" Scenario
To understand the power of this visibility, consider a common investigation: A device starts a high-speed upload to a cloud storage site at 2:00 AM.
To a standard network filter, that looks like a legitimate sync or a background backup. But CyberSight provides critical device state layer. When you review the event timeline, you can see that this upload occurred while the device was locked and the user was idle. This context transforms a line of traffic into a clear indicator of compromise, giving you the forensic evidence needed to identify exfiltration that would otherwise blend into the noise.

Regaining the Lead
The traditional security model of "block by default" is hitting a breaking point. You cannot simply block your way to a secure culture when thousands of SaaS applications are only a click away. Visibility isn’t just an alternative to control, it is the prerequisite for it. We recognized that the most immediate threat to our customers wasn't a lack of tools, but a data void. Security teams need an active forensic trail to bridge the gap between a flagged event and a verified threat. CyberSight provides that context now, allowing you to move beyond guesswork and understand the specific user behaviors that put your organization at risk.
Information is the New Perimeter
CyberSight is available now for Pro and Enterprise users. Included is a data retention period of one year, so you will be able to conduct investigations with deep forensics and behavioral context. It’s a commitment to a simple idea: In a decentralized world, visibility is the only true form of control.

Why Scaling Your MSP Doesn’t Mean Hiring More Technicians
Growth should feel like progress. But for a lot of MSPs, there comes a point where growth starts to feel heavier instead. New clients are coming in, and revenue is rising, yet the day-to-day operation feels more stretched, not more efficient. The service desk is constantly busy. Senior techs keep getting pulled into escalations. The team is working harder just to maintain the same standard of delivery.The usual response is to hire more people. On...
The Hidden Cost of “Good Enough” Security in MSP Environments
“Good enough” security checks the boxes and keeps the dashboards green. It covers the basics and gets you through onboarding. But in MSP environments, “good enough” usually means nothing breaks badly enough to force action. And that’s exactly the problem.The tooling system doesn’t fail. It just becomes more expensive to run, gradually turning your service desk into a permanent cleanup crew.Over time, reactive security tools create a profitability...
SASE vs SSE: What's the Difference and Why It Matters for Your Security Stack
If you’ve spent any time researching modern network security, you’ve likely come across SASE and SSE used interchangeably, sometimes even in vendor messaging. The result is a lot of confusion around two concepts that are closely related but not identical.
