As a growing point of entry for an attack, users are a difficult vector to monitor and secure. To confront the tidal wave of attacks, you need to hone your attention on users by harnessing the power of user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA).

An effective security program monitors and correlates endpoint, network, and user activity to provide comprehensive visibility into an environment. Focusing on your users’ activities gives you an important vantage point to identify threats before they become damaging breaches. Theft, misuse, and exploitation of user accounts are fundamental tactics used by attackers in each phase of the cyberattack lifecycle.
