# Emanate Security Product Docs ## Platform Overview
## Benefits The Emanate Security Platform (ESP) works by ingesting user activity logs from your existing cloud productivity and security solutions. By parsing, normalizing, and analyzing these activity logs, user-specific detections are triggered in real-time (as soon as we get the logs). These events are actioned immediately, enhancing a user-specific timeline analysis and contextualizing insider threat, account compromise, and non-compliant behavior by automatically contacting employees and their managers for additional context where necessary. ESP is used to create user-specific security guardrails, allowing an organization to take advantage of the granular, user-specific controls that point solutions offer, but are rarely used. To secure user behavior at scale, ESP provides the following benefits: * **Streamline Investigations** with user behavior timelines and risk analyses that automatically contact users & managers when business context is needed. * **Tighten Security Controls** by leveraging behavioral analysis anomaly detection coupled with user and manager context, enabling strict controls to reduce attack tree scenarios. * **Eliminate User Friction** by offering users with proactive exception requests or secure alternatives every time a control gets in the way of their productivity. * **Reduction in False Positives** with alerts that are finely tuned to every individual, reducing unnecessary investigations associated with company or team-wide generic detections. * **Hands-Free Compliance Attestations** allow organizations to capture information on non-compliant behaviors and user actions at scale. ## Features Key features of the Emanate Security Platform include: * **Quick and Simple Integrations:** Each 3rd party integration is wizard driven and takes minutes to set up. * **Real-Time Event Detections:** ESP's user behavior detections are processed in sub-second timeframes once logs are received. * **Automated User Context Gathering:** When necessary, detections are automatically messaged to users and/or managers in near real-time, with typical responses in minutes. * **User Timeline Analyses & Risk Reports:** Each user record comes with a comprehensive timeline of events, supplemented with user context making investigations quick and easy. * **User-Specific Guardrails:** Every ESP detection is automatically tuned to optimize for expected and unexpected behavior, reducing the false positives associated with generic detections. * **Downstream Automation:** The user-focused nature of ESP detections, including user & manager context enable a fully-automated response solution you can rely on. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
