Machine Learning for Threat Detection
This document discusses user behavioral analytics and machine learning for threat detection. It summarizes that legacy security information and event management (SIEM) technologies are not adequate for detecting insider threats and advanced adversaries. It then describes how user behavioral analytics uses machine learning to develop multi-entity behavioral models across users, applications, hosts, and networks to detect anomalous behavior indicative of insider threats or advanced cyberattacks. Contact information is provided for the security consultant presenting on this topic.

- #11 Slide: Solution – Splunk UBA Splunk User Behavior Analytics is a cyber security and threat detection solution that helps organizations find hidden threats without using rules, signatures or human analysis. It uses behavior modeling, peer group analysis, real-time statistical analysis, collaborative filtering and other machine learning techniques. Has a 99% reduction of notable events in various customer based case studies, enabling analysts to focus on important threats and not waste time confirming false positives.
