Know your gear
UEBA, which stands for user and entity behavior analytics, is software that analyzes user activity data from logs, network traffic and endpoints and correlates this data with threat intelligence to identify activities - or behaviors - likely to indicate a malicious presence in your environment. It uses machine learning technology to baseline "normal" behavior and get smarter over time, and applies both static rules and statistical analysis to rapidly and accurately detect suspicious activity. Using such advanced technology and statistical models, UEBA is a force multiplier for security teams struggling to stay on top of today's advanced, targeted threats.
