AlphaSense was scaling quickly. With more employees, more tools, and more AI usage, the security team needed a way to understand behavior without reducing people to alerts. They were not looking for more isolated signals. They needed to see the board.
Traditional tools could flag unusual activity. Above helped AlphaSense understand what that activity meant. Was this a single person making a risky decision? Was it a broader team behavior? Was it a policy gap? Or was it an education opportunity?
Above helped AlphaSense prioritize the most important issues and move faster with better context. What had once taken weeks of investigation could now be addressed in hours — and in some cases, minutes.

Next Move
AlphaSense is scaling its security program alongside its growing workforce. With visibility now across the full board, the team is moving from reactive investigation to proactive education — giving employees the context they need to make better decisions with AI tools.
The goal is not just faster investigations. It is a smarter, more empathetic security posture — one where the team can understand behavior holistically and respond with education before a risk becomes an incident.
