❓ What is Behavioral Analytics (UEBA)?

User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) uses machine learning to establish baseline behavior patterns and detect anomalies that may indicate compromised accounts or insider threats.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

The system collects telemetry (login times, access patterns, data movement) and builds behavioral baselines per user. Deviations trigger risk scores and alerts.

📍 Where Is It Used?

Enterprise SOCs, PAM platforms, IAM systems — anywhere insider threat detection is needed.

💡 Real-World Example

A finance employee who normally downloads 5 reports per day suddenly downloads 500 files at 2 AM. UEBA flags this as high-risk and automatically suspends the account.
