User behavior analytics tackles cloud, hybrid environments
Integration of user behavior analytics as a feature of other security technologies such as SIEM and data loss prevention shows no sign of slowing down. User behavior analytics tools develop baselines and then correlate threat events, user and entity context, and peer analytics to alert security analysts of unusual activity.
Gartner expects user entity and behavior analytics techniques to become embedded in roughly 80% of the threat detection and incident response market by 2022. But between now and then, it appears more user behavior analytics tools are headed for optimization in the cloud. This optimization involves not only the analytical models, but also performance and cost.
"When you properly optimize analytics, the bill that you get from Amazon can be orders of magnitude smaller," said Stephan Jou, CTO of Interset Software Inc., an OEM provider that also offers stand-alone security analytics tools.
In this issue of Information Security, we look at new functionality in user behavior analytics and security analytics, and how these machine learning tools are attempting to help security operations centers stay on top of insider threats, external dangers and cloud security monitoring.

Cloud access security brokers: Hard to tell what's real
Most cloud access security brokers offer CISOs a way to set policy and gain better understanding of multiple cloud services and data in use across the enterprise. As CASBs have gained momentum in recent years, use cases for them have expanded. Do these tools fill the gaps around visibility and control of software as a service and other cloud services?
Although cloud service visibility and data leak protection continue to be the biggest drivers, cloud access security brokers can do more than just help with your shadow IT problem and unsanctioned application activity in the cloud.
Organizations are increasingly looking to use cloud access security brokers to identify anomalies in data movement between on-premises and cloud apps as well as multiple cloud services. Malware identification and encryption of data have become important. More enterprises are also beginning to use CASBs or similar intermediary security technologies to provide some level of security policy management for custom identity-as-a-service platforms.
In this issue of Information Security magazine, we look at cloud access security brokers and the best ways to evaluate new models, such as infrastructure as a service and platform security.
