1. Next-Generation SIEM Helps Security Teams

Many businesses have used SIEMs to manage vast amounts of security data. When used correctly, this tool can centralize and visualize event data coming from multiple sources, but in today's ever-changing threat landscape, traditional SIEMs are becoming obsolete. In this article, we will introduce the problems of conventional SIEM products and introduce the next-generation SIEM that will be the solution!

2. Why UEBA is a critical component of incident response

UEBA is the practice of creating a baseline of user and entity behavioral activity that is combined with peer group analysis to search for and analyze anomalous activity to identify potential or actual intrusions and malicious intent. It detects certain actions. UEBA leverages behavior-based analysis of both users and entities with capabilities that evolve from fact-based security and simple correlation rules to model threats based on individual user behavior.

In this article, we will explain a little more about UEBA, which is an important element of incident response!
