(OB)

Stream: Security
Time: 14:00 - 14:45


Presentation

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the threat of cyber-attacks is more prevalent than ever. Traditional security measures often fall short in identifying sophisticated threats and insider risks. User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) has emerged as a powerful solution to this challenge, offering advanced capabilities in detecting anomalies and potential security breaches by analyzing the behavior of users and entities within an organization.

 

This talk delves into the core principles of UEBA, exploring how it leverages machine learning, statistical analysis, and behavioral profiling to provide a robust security framework. This talk will cover the following areas:

 

- The Fundamentals of UEBA

 

- Behavioral Baselines and Anomaly Detection: How UEBA establishes normal behavior patterns and identifies deviations that may indicate a threat.

 

- Use Cases and Applications: Real-world examples of how organizations across various industries utilize UEBA to enhance their security posture.

 

- Integration with Existing Security Infrastructure

 

- Challenges and Considerations

 

- Futures and UEBA

 

By the end of this session, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of how UEBA can transform their approach to cybersecurity, providing deeper visibility into user and entity activities, and enabling proactive threat detection and response.
