Data Detection and Response (DDR)

Data Detection and Response (DDR) is a cybersecurity approach that focuses on identifying, classifying, and responding to threats involving sensitive data, particularly unstructured data, across endpoints, cloud platforms, and user workflows. While traditional detection tools focus on network or endpoint activity, DDR shifts the focus directly onto the data itself:

  • Where is your sensitive data?
  • Who is accessing it?
  • Is it at risk right now?

 

DDR provides real-time insight and automation to detect data misuse, prevent leaks, and enforce security policies where the data lives.

Why Is DDR Important?

In the age of AI, hybrid work, and complex data environments, organizations face increasing risks from:

  • Shadow data and unknown data sprawl
  • Insider threats and accidental data leakage
  • AI model training on unauthorized datasets
  • Ineffective legacy DLP systems

 

DDR enables organizations to take action at the data level, offering contextual detection and rapid remediation, whether data is being copied, moved, shared, or exposed to external systems.

Fasoo Solutions for Effective Data Detection and Response

Fasoo Data Radar: The First Step Toward Effective DDR

Fasoo Data Radar (FDR) is the foundation of any strong DDR strategy. It continuously scans, discovers, and classifies sensitive data across endpoints, servers, and cloud environments. By making hidden or unmanaged data visible, FDR enables organizations to detect potential risks before they escalate.

  • Automated Data Discovery & Classification
    FDR uses content, metadata, and contextual analysis to automatically identify and categorize sensitive information, including PII, intellectual property, financial documents, and AI training data. It supports customizable classification policies aligned with internal standards and external regulations.

 

  • Full Data Visibility Across the Enterprise
    Whether data is at rest, in motion, or in use, FDR provides continuous visibility into where sensitive data resides, how it is accessed, and who owns it, eliminating blind spots and shadow data risks.

 

  • Policy-Based Responses
    Once sensitive data is classified, FDR can trigger automated actions such as encryption, access restrictions, or alerts. This makes detection actionable and reduces manual intervention.

Fasoo Integrated Log Manager: Turning Data Activity into Actionable Insight

Fasoo Integrated Log Manager (FILM) plays a critical role in enabling DDR by collecting, centralizing, and analyzing logs from data activities across the organization. It transforms raw activity data into actionable intelligence, allowing organizations to detect and respond to data threats in real time.

  • End-to-End File Activity Monitoring
    FILM tracks the entire lifecycle of a file from creation, viewing, and editing to copying, printing, decrypting, and deleting. It logs who accessed what data, when, how, and from where, providing full traceability and supporting rapid forensic analysis in the event of a breach.

 

  • Real-time Anomaly Detection & Alerts
    FILM flags suspicious patterns such as mass file decryptions, unusual access times, or unauthorized attempts to share sensitive documents and triggers real-time alerts for investigation or automated response, minimizing incident response time.

 

  • Visual Risk Intelligence Dashboards
    FILM provides a consolidated view of your organization’s data security posture, showing file usage trends, policy enforcement gaps, and high-risk users or locations. This helps security teams prioritize threats and optimize controls.

Fasoo RiskView: Turning Data Insights Into Risk Intelligence

Fasoo RiskView (FRV) brings a real-time, risk-centric lens to your data environment. By aggregating sensitive data context, such as file location, user behavior, access levels, and classification tags, FRV provides a dynamic, visual representation of data risk. It helps organizations prioritize detection and response efforts by surfacing high-risk users, assets, and files.

  • Behavior-Based Threat Detection
    FRV applies UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) to log data collected across endpoints, allowing it to detect anomalies that may indicate insider threats or compromised accounts—such as unusual file decryption, bulk exports, or access at irregular hours.

 

  • Admin-Driven Threat Assessment & Response
    Rather than automatically acting on every alert, FRV presents intelligent visualizations and context to help administrators accurately assess and validate threats, reducing false positives and enabling faster, more confident decisions.

 

  • Support for Policy Review and Risk Mitigation
    FRV provides insights into potential security gaps, such as excessive access privileges or unprotected sensitive files, helping organizations refine access policies and strengthen overall data governance.
