An individual (i.e current or former employee, contractor, customer or business partner) who has or had authorized access to use an organization’s assets, may act either maliciously or unintentionally, in a way that could negatively affect the organization. Insiders may pose a greater threat to cybersecurity than all outside malicious actors combined causing significant damage in the form of fraud, sabotage, and data theft (e.g. trade secrets or intellectual property).
Most user related threat incidents are the consequences of human actions, such as mistakes, negligence, or reckless behavior. Because of the human factor, insider behavior is multi-faceted and has failed statistical and analytical prediction models and security tools, such as antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion-detection systems. Organizations need sophisticated behavioral monitoring analytics technology and deep monitoring approach to perform analysis of data on multiple levels of granularity for identifying malicious behaviors, insider threats or inadvertent actors. Advanced correlation and machine learning tools analyze user activity in real time and detect new malicious insiders in unseen data with a high accuracy, ensuring for the highest levels of protection .
The User Monitoring solution integrated with Obrela’s Managed Detection & Response (MDR) service combines collective intelligence practices and methods with leading edge security analytics and sophisticated risk management technology to identify, analyze, predict and prevent cyber-security threats related to user behavior in real time. Threat detection analytics, an integral part of the MDR service, collect and analyze structured and unstructured security related data from multiple systems, network devices and other critical assets, generating valuable intelligence for new, emerging and advanced security threats. Obrela’s SOC, also an integral part of the MDR service, staffed by threat analysts with user monitoring expertise provides 24×7 monitoring, incident escalation as soon as a threat is validated providing to the customers MITRE-like recommendations for fast and effective security incident response.
By analyzing what each user does and applying their characteristics to the event, User Activity Monitoring analytics constitute an invaluable method to detect potentially risky activity, including data theft and unauthorized access to confidential information, or evaluate the change management process. Monitoring user activity enables our clients to verify that internal controls are effective, reducing the risk of data theft and failed audits. User Monitoring analytics include:
Obrela’s Threat Detection Analytics enable advanced and in-depth analysis of large amounts of log data from multiple system and network log sources leveraging threat intelligence, expert rules and advance security analytics algorithms to reveal abnormal or suspicious behavior and patterns. Alert management capabilities enhance 24×7 monitoring to detect threats as soon as possible triggering meaningful alerts and security response procedures.
