What Is UEBA? Its Role in Insider Threat and Data Leak Detection
UEBA learns normal behavior for each user. When something unusual happens, such as bulk file copying at midnight, it raises an alert. It catches events that rule-based systems miss.
An analysis method that learns normal user and device behavior and detects deviations from it.
Why Does It Matter?
Insider threats use authorized accounts, so classic rules often stay silent. A behavior change is the earliest sign of events such as data collection before resignation.
Core Principles & How It Works
What Threats Arise from Inadequate Protection?
- ✕Bulk file copying before an employee leaves.
- ✕Access at unusual hours with a compromised account.
