What is it?
UEBA and SIEM+: Critical Applications and SaaS refers to enhanced UEBA and SIEM solutions designed to monitor, secure, and respond to threats targeting critical business applications and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms. This advanced approach combines SIEM’s core capabilities of collecting and analyzing logs with specialized tools for safeguarding cloud environments and high-priority applications. UEBA can identify unusual behavior of users and devices (entities) within a network and ismore capable of spotting subtle, potentially malicious activities that traditional rule-based systems might overlook.
What does it do?
Integrating UEBA, SIEM, and coverage for critical applications and SaaS platforms creates a robust cybersecurity strategy. This combined approach offers an extensive view of potential risks, bolstered detection capabilities, and adaptability for the diverse environments where modern threats emerge.
What are the Benefits to Me?
1. Comprehensive Threat Detection Across All Environments: This integration gives you full-spectrum visibility—detecting threats from on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments, covering both users and applications. It ensures no security gap between cloud and traditional infrastructure, addressing threats wherever they arise.
2. Improved Detection of Insider Threats and Account Compromise: UEBA’s behavioral insights can flag deviations in critical applications and SaaS access patterns, allowing for faster detection of account misuse and insider threats within key platforms.
3. Unified Monitoring for Centralized Threat Management: By bringing SaaS and critical applications under SIEM’s umbrella, and adding UEBA’s behavioral layer, you achieve centralized visibility across all systems. This unification simplifies management and response, providing security teams with a single location for faster incident detection and response.
4. Enhanced Security for Remote and Hybrid Workforces: With critical application monitoring and behavioral analytics, you have enhanced oversight of remote users, detecting anomalous behaviors that could signal compromised accounts or suspicious access attempts.
5. Improved Compliance with Granular Visibility and Audit Trails: By incorporating UEBA and SaaS applications into your SIEM, you ensure that your compliance controls extend to both traditional and cloud applications, with full visibility into user actions and access to critical data.
6. Reduced Alert Fatigue with Prioritized Insights: Combining UEBA, SIEM, and SaaS/critical application monitoring helps refine alerts by focusing on context and behavior. Your team can prioritize high-risk alerts from key platforms, improving focus and response time.
7. Adaptability to Evolving Threats Across All Platforms: You’re protected against threats that are cloud-native or arise within critical applications, which traditional monitoring might miss. UEBA’s learning capabilities further help adapt to changing behaviors, enhancing detection across all environments.
