UEBA: Finding cybersecurity 'normal' with data science & machine learning

As part of CBR's Tech Express series, Editor Ellie Burns sits down with Barry Shteiman from Exabeam to find out about User and Entity Behaviour Analytics. BS: UEBA stands for User and Entity Behaviour Analytics and it's an analytics-led threat detection technology. UEBA uses machine learning and data science to gain an understanding of how Users (humans) and Entities (machines) within an environment typically behave. As every IT environment is an interconnected web of humans and machines, UEBA helps to identify normal and abnormal behavior for both groups to provide complete visibility. Then, by looking for risky, anomalous activity that deviates from normal behaviour, UEBA helps identify cyber threats.
