Why teams switch

Where Cyberhaven stops at the data

Cyberhaven is built to protect data. Insider risk is about people and intent — which is where the work piles up.

Data, not the whole picture

Cyberhaven traces files and flags data-loss events. Intent, identity, and AI-agent activity — the rest of insider risk — sit outside a data-loss lens.

Alerts you still investigate

Lineage-based incidents are cleaner, but they're still events to triage. Turning a data-movement flag into a decision is on your analysts.

Policies and classification to maintain

Someone still defines what's sensitive and which data flows to allow or block, and keeps it current as your tools and data change.

What sets Above apart

The investigation runs itself

AI runs every investigation

Cyberhaven shows you where data went. Above's agents work out what happened and why — assembling the behavioral timeline, the context, and the recommended action.

Insider risk is more than data

Exfiltration is one signal. Above investigates intent across SaaS, endpoint, identity, and AI — the behavior a data-loss lens doesn't see.

Sees and investigates everything

SaaS, endpoint, identity, plus the AI era: custom GPTs, OAuth-scoped agents, personal AI. Every surface, one investigation.

An honest take

When Cyberhaven might be the right call

If your priority is data-loss prevention and data-security posture — classifying sensitive data and tracing where files go — Cyberhaven's data-lineage approach is a strong, modern DLP. Above is for teams that want the full insider-risk investigation — behavior, intent, identity, and AI — run automatically, on every signal.

Questions teams ask when comparing

How is Above different from Cyberhaven?
Cyberhaven is a data-security/DLP platform: it classifies and traces data to flag data-loss incidents. Above's AI agents investigate behavior and intent across SaaS, endpoint, identity, and AI, and produce the finished investigation — included, on every signal.
Is Above a DLP?
No. Above doesn't classify data or enforce data-movement policies. It investigates user and agent behavior to surface and explain insider risk — and works alongside a data-security tool if you run one.
Does Above cover AI and LLM risk?
Yes — custom GPTs trained on your IP, OAuth-scoped agents, and customer data in personal AI are investigated as behavior and intent, not just flagged as a data flow.
How long does it take to switch?
Run Above alongside Cyberhaven during evaluation, compare investigations on your own data, and consolidate when you're ready. We handle data connection.
