Description: User behavior analytics is a critical process in cybersecurity that involves collecting and evaluating data on how users interact with systems and networks. This analysis allows for the identification of normal behavior patterns and, from there, the detection of anomalies that may indicate security threats. In the context of a Security Operations Center (SOC), advanced data analysis and machine learning tools are used to continuously monitor user activities. This includes reviewing system access, transactions, and communications to identify unusual behaviors that could indicate an internal or external attack. Network segmentation, on the other hand, refers to the practice of dividing a network into smaller subnets to improve security and performance. By analyzing user behavior within these segments, a more granular approach to threat detection can be applied, enabling security teams to respond more effectively to potential incidents. In summary, user behavior analytics is an essential tool for strengthening information security and protecting an organization’s digital assets.
