Frequently Asked Questions

Detection & Monitoring

  • xSIGNAL’s proprietary Detection Engine continuously monitors ERP system events and changes at a granular level. It can be configured to run in real-time, near real-time, or through scheduled log queries, depending on your needs.

  • Yes. xSIGNAL uses AI in multiple ways:

    • To establish context around incidents, based on your organization’s definition of what constitutes an anomaly or insider threat.

    • To power AI agents and chatbots that support operational efficiency.
      As your data matures, xSIGNAL's machine learning models adapt and improve over time, providing deeper insights and fewer false positives.

  • Yes. Our AI-driven algorithms and configurable Rules Engine add critical context to each potential incident. That context might include timestamps, location data, or advanced user/entity behavior analytics (UEBA). We recommend starting with rule-based configuration and layering in machine learning as data quality and volume grow.

  • Once a signal is detected, xSIGNAL’s Workflow Engine automatically routes it to the appropriate parties based on your configuration.

    • For a verified insider threat: The system may trigger SMS alerts to the employee or contractor, real-time messages to the CISO or Security Officer via Teams or Slack, and updates to your SIEM/dashboard.

    • For a false positive: Notifications can be delivered via email to relevant individuals for review and closure.

Resolution & Governance

  • Yes. Our Action Tracking and Escalation module follows every notification to ensure timely resolution. If no action is taken, the system re-notifies and expands outreach to additional personnel or channels until the issue is addressed. Once resolved, xSIGNAL logs and communicates the closure automatically.

  • That’s because it is de facto Governance. xSIGNAL gives organizations a powerful, completely customizable platform with which they can build out true Communications Governance. We have found that one of the reasons insider incidents go unsolved for nearly 90 days is a lack of communications governance.

Operational Efficiency

  • xSIGNAL enables operational efficiency by automating routine tasks and improving access to services. For example:

    • If an employee needs help updating their direct deposit information but can’t reach HR, xSIGNAL recognizes the event is not a threat and initiates an AI-powered chatbot to walk them through the process—freeing up your help desk and improving the employee experience.

  • Yes. From payroll changes to benefits enrollment, xSIGNAL automates the support process, reducing the burden on HR or IT teams and maintaining high-quality service with fewer resources.

Communication Strategy

  • Yes. xSIGNAL’s Communications Matrix allows you to build a smart outreach strategy that avoids inbox fatigue.

    • For compliance training: Start with Teams/Slack messages and escalate follow-ups only if required actions aren't taken.

    • For benefits enrollment: Send reminders across SMS, email, and chat platforms. If an employee gets stuck, open a chatbot session in real-time to assist.

  • Yes. xSIGNAL supports WhatsApp and other internet-based messaging platforms with API support, ensuring global accessibility without relying solely on SMS.
