Cyber and User Behavior Analytics

Presentation Overview

Description: Security systems are collecting more data today than ever before, but are gathering their information into silos.  A robust Cyber and User Behavior analytics platform allows those disparate islands of information to be gathered for collective insights.

Abstract: Independent security events while providing awareness and alerting do not tell the whole story.  A robust Cyber User Behavior Analytics platform provides the ability for all outside alerts and insider activities to be centralized with the intentions of applying advanced analytics through unsupervised and supervised machine learning at scale.  Leveraging such a platform allows companies to baseline behavioral patterns for individuals and groups and subsequently detect meaningful anomalies in those patterns to mitigate risk to the organization.
