User & Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA)

User and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) systems employ machine learning and advanced analytics to establish baseline behaviors for users and entities (like servers and applications), then identify anomalous activities that could indicate threats such as insider attacks, compromised accounts, or data exfiltration. By focusing on deviations from the norm, UEBA helps uncover sophisticated threats that traditional rule-based systems might miss. Effective security awareness training complements UEBA by fostering secure user habits, thereby reducing the incidents of risky behavior that could lead to account compromise or trigger alerts.
