User Behavior Analytics

User behavior analytics (UBA) is an emerging set of security controls and processes that inspect patterns of user behavior and apply various methods to identify anomalies and events within that behavior representative of security threats. UBA centers on the user, particularly user access of cloud data, and is intended to identify malicious insiders, compromised users, fraud, and various advanced attacks. In this talk, I will describe our approach to UBA, some success stories, and the challenges faced along the way.
