What is UBA?

UBA stands for User and Entity Behavior Analytics. It is a cybersecurity process that uses analytical tools and machine learning to detect anomalous behavior by users and entities (e.g., devices, servers) within an IT environment. UBA solutions identify patterns of activity that deviate from established baselines, which can indicate potential threats such as insider threats, compromised accounts, or malware infections. It is commonly used by security teams to improve threat detection, incident response, and overall security posture.
