How NetClean ProActive strengthens cybersecurity through detection

In our last post, we discussed why human risk detection is the missing piece in cybersecurity. Now, let’s take a closer look at how NetClean ProActive aligns with the Detect function of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)—helping organizations identify and mitigate risks before they escalate.
This post is the second part of a three-part blog series on human risk detection and cybersecurity.

Real-time detection: Seeing the risks that others miss

Cybersecurity strategies often focus on preventing external attacks, but threats don’t always come from the outside.

Some of the most serious security incidents stem from insider threats, unauthorized data access, and high-risk behaviors. NetClean ProActive ensures these red flags don’t go unnoticed.

Here’s how:

1. Continuous monitoring

  • Always on: ProActive runs 24/7, identifying and reporting digital activities that pose security risks.
  • Real-time detection: Flags individuals engaging in high-risk behaviors, such as interactions with Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM)—a strong predictor of insider threats, blackmail risks, and data breaches.

2. Anomaly detection

  • Identifies compromised assets—from illegal content access to unauthorized data movement.
  • Detects security risks before they escalate, helping organizations stay ahead of potential breaches.

3. Strengthening threat intelligence

  • Provides actionable insights into users engaged in high-risk digital activities.
  • Enhances compliance by helping organizations detect and respond to potential security breach before escalation.

4. A specialized EDR for human risk

  • Works alongside existing security tools, detecting behaviors that traditional EDR and SIEM solutions miss.
  • Supports zero-trust security models by identifying human risk factors early.

Why this matters

Cybersecurity isn’t just about stopping external attackers—it’s about understanding and mitigating human risks inside the organization.

With NetClean ProActive, organizations can:

  • Proactively detect human risks before they become major security incidents.
  • Strengthen compliance with security frameworks like NIST.
  • Gain deeper insights into insider threats that traditional tools overlook.
