If you’re an information security professional, or even just interested in infosec, you’ve probably been hearing a lot about User Behavior Analytics, or UBA lately. Maybe you’ve even written it off as another buzzword, another acronym, another marketing abstraction to make the old seem new again.
Well that may be true sometimes, but in most cases User Behavior Analytics are a boon to cybersecurity systems. UBA is defined by Gartner as a cyber security process aimed at the detection of insider threats, targeted attacks, and financial fraud via the analysis of patterns of human behavior.
UBA solutions analysis large volumes of data about users on a network and then apply algorithms and statistical analysis to detect meaningful anomalies from those patterns, which could alert administrators to an imminent threat.
In these three videos, seasoned InfoSec experts explain exactly what UBA means to the modern enterprise, and the benefits it holds.
