Cisco Firepower / ASA deployments cost $1.5M+ with hardware, licensing, and professional services. TITAN offers lightweight cloud-native monitoring at a fraction of the cost.
Average cost of a data breach in 2025 (IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report). Exfiltration monitoring is the single most effective way to catch breaches before they become catastrophic.
68% of breaches involve data exfiltration before the organization even detects the intrusion. By the time you know, the data is already gone.
HIPAA, FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC2, NIST 800-53, and PCI-DSS all require data flow monitoring. Without it, you fail your audit.

Tracks all blob downloads, AzCopy bulk transfers, SAS token usage, anonymous access, and cross-region replication. Flags mass downloads during off-hours or to foreign IPs.
Monitors database exports, bulk copy operations (BCP), backup downloads, BACPAC exports, and cross-subscription data moves. Detects unusual query patterns and bulk SELECT operations.
Detects VM snapshot exports, managed disk copies to external subscriptions, OS disk detachment, and VHD downloads. Catches attempts to clone entire server environments.
Tracks collection-level exports, change feed consumption by external services, bulk read operations, and cross-region data replication to unauthorized endpoints.
Monitors bulk secret reads, certificate exports, key material downloads, and access policy changes. Detects service principals reading secrets they have never accessed before.
Tracks SMB and NFS bulk transfers, Azure Files downloads, recursive directory copies, and large archive operations. Identifies unusual access patterns from new devices or locations.
Flags data transfers occurring between 10 PM and 6 AM local time. Correlates with user's normal working pattern to eliminate false positives for global teams.
TRIGGER: 10PM–6AM transfersDetects data transfers exceeding 3x the user's 30-day baseline. Learns normal patterns per user, per resource, per time window. Auto-adjusts thresholds weekly.
TRIGGER: >3x baseline volumeAlerts when data leaves to external IPs in high-risk countries or unrecognized endpoints. Maintains a dynamic allowlist of approved destinations and CDNs.
TRIGGER: External IP / foreign geoCross-references HR termination feeds with active session data. Catches ex-employees whose credentials were not fully revoked accessing data post-termination.
TRIGGER: Post-termination accessMonitors third-party vendor accounts for data access beyond their contracted scope. Enforces least-privilege at the data layer, not just the identity layer.
TRIGGER: Out-of-scope data pullDetects mass reads of Key Vault secrets, certificates, or keys. A single service principal reading 50+ secrets in one session is always suspicious.
