Will it last? The marriage between UBA tools and SIEM

The failure to detect insider threats and a growing need to store and sort through massive amounts of data have drawn attention to user behavior analytics, sometimes called user and entity behavior analytics. According to Gartner, UBA tools deliver value for use cases such as compromised accounts, including stolen and phished credentials. They can also be used to find compromised systems and data exfiltration.

Security platforms like data loss prevention, endpoint security and cloud access security brokers will increasingly layer or incorporate UBA features to help analyze alerts and make underlying technology more useful, according to analysts. SIEM and UBA are also converging, with SIEM vendors adding UBA tools and UBA vendors building SIEM systems.
