# Insider Risk & Zero-Trust Verification

Zero-Trust controls aren’t bulletproof. See whether your employees have the ability to infer sensitive insights from LLM responses.

## The Scenario

You’ve rolled out least-privilege groups, created network segments, and granted conditional access. But if someone asks Copilot:

**“Summarise current R&D cost-cutting plans and their HR impact.”**

Copilot’s seemingly-harmless answers risk exposing strategies you can’t find in one file. Security needs proof that Zero-Trust also holds at the knowledge layer, not just the network layer.

## How It Works

### Clone Real Personas
Create copies of interns, contractors, or power users without impacting production.

### Launch Insider-Style Prompts
Probe finance, HR, IP, and exec topics through Copilot/Glean.

### Detect Segmentation Issues
Knostic flags risky answers and maps how they happen across employee boundaries.

### Evaluate Insider Risk
Sort and filter by department, role, sensitivity level, or user context.

### Fix & Verify
One click tightens labels and shores up your LLM to end oversharing.

## Key Benefits for your team

### Knowledge-Layer Validation
Confirm whether segmentation truly blocks inference of sensitive information.

### Early-Warning Signals
Highlight low-privilege users who can still piece together sensitive insights.

### Executive-Ready Dashboards
Make it easy to track and manage risk levels over time.

### Self-Regulation
Apply fixes and prove success without waiting for the next audit.

## How This Use Case Employs Knostic’s Core Capabilities

Combined, these capabilities prove (or disprove) your Zero-Trust posture at the speed of AI.

### No-Code Deployment
Connects to M365 and AI tools in minutes, so you can get started faster.

### Knowledge Oversharing Detection
Analyzes the information your LLM can access to uncover how sensitive information can be inferred.

### Real-Time Knowledge Controls
Validates your adjustments and ensures the leaks you’ve blocked stay blocked.

### Security Control Feedback Loop
Identifies each failed Zero-Trust boundary, fixes it, and can retest to ensure the leak is sealed.

### Audit Trail of Knowledge Access
Stores a tamper-proof log of prompts, sources, and risks.
