Where the set of most dominating Business Cases for User Behaviour Analysis are:
|
1. User Behavior Analytics in Cybersecurity for the Infrastructure Sector User Behavior Analytics (UBA) is an essential tool in providing advanced security for critical infrastructure systems. These systems often serve as major targets for cyberthreats due to their essential contributions to the functioning of society, such as energy production, water supply, and transportation. Therefore, implementing a UBA system can significantly elevate their defence against potential threats. 2. Improving Threat Detection UBA effectively detects anomalous behavior by establishing a base normal behavior pattern for users and subsequently identifying deviations. This ability to pinpoint unusual activity allows early detection of potential threats, such as insider threats, targeted attacks, or compromised credentials. 3. Reducing False Positives By monitoring and learning user behavior, UBA can significantly reduce the rate of false-positive alerts, which often occurs with rule-based security systems. This specificity leads to more effective utilization of security resources for responding to genuine threats. 4. Enhancing Incident Response UBA provides detailed information about unusual user activities, such as the devices used, the location of logins, and the time of the occurrence. These data insights contribute towards a speedy and accurate investigation of security incidents. 5. Compliance and Regulation Complying with security regulations is a necessity for infrastructure systems. The data logged by UBA tools can serve as evidence for compliance audits by providing traceable and measurable records of user activities and incidents. 6. Improving Overall Security Posture By integrating UBA with other security technologies such as Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), organizations can achieve a more comprehensive view of user behaviors and system security, enhancing their overall security posture. In conclusion, UBA plays a pivotal role in categorizing and mitigating cybersecurity risks in the infrastructure sector. By identifying and neutralizing threats early, reducing false positives, and aiding compliance efforts, UBA promotes a safer and more secure operational environment. |
And where the most prominent Use Cases for Predictive Cyber Threat Intelligence are:
|
Use Cases for Predictive Cyber Threat Intelligence in Infrastructure Sector 1. Threat Prevention and Detection Predictive Cyber Threat Intelligence can be used to predict possible threats before they occur. This helps infrastructure organizations to be proactive and prepare for possible attacks. The information can be used to detect threats in real time, helping to reduce the chances of success for cybercriminals. 2. Strategic Decision Making Intelligence derived from predictive cyber threat tools can be used to make strategic decisions. Leaders can prioritize risks depending on their potential impact and likelihood, allowing for optimized resource allocation. 3. Compliance with Cybersecurity Requirements Infrastructure organizations need to comply with a variety of cybersecurity regulations. Predictive Cyber Threat Intelligence can provide insights into potential vulnerabilities in their systems and help them ensure they meet all necessary compliance requirements. 4. Risk Analysis and Management Cyber threat intelligence can provide comprehensive insights into the potential threats. This can aid in risk analysis, helping organizations identify where they have vulnerabilities and how they could potentially be exploited, allowing for better risk management and mitigation strategies. 5. Incident Response In the event of a security breach, predictive intelligence can aid in determining the nature and extent of the breach. By understanding the potential threats, an effective response can be formulated swiftly, minimizing damage and downtime. |
