How can user behavior analytics support incident response?

User behavior analytics can help organizations identify unusual activities and respond to potential security incidents by analyzing patterns of behavior across users or systems within an organization. By monitoring user activities such as login times, locations, data access, and application usage, user behavior analytics tools can establish baseline behavior for individuals and systems. Any deviations from these established patterns can trigger alerts for potential security incidents. This proactive approach enables organizations to detect insider threats, such as compromised accounts or unauthorized access, and respond swiftly to mitigate risks before they escalate.
