💡 Insider Threat Indicators
Insider threats — whether malicious or negligent — account for a significant percentage of data breaches. Behavioral analytics detecting unusual access patterns, data downloads, and privilege escalation help identify insider risks before damage occurs.
💡 Race Condition Vulnerabilities
Race conditions occur when application behavior depends on the timing of concurrent operations. Attackers exploit these timing windows to bypass limits, duplicate transactions, or escalate privileges by sending carefully timed parallel requests.
