Identifying Risk with Behavioral Analytics
Forcepoint is leveraging a powerful analytics framework to detect patterns of human behavior in big data.
Forcepoint protects thousands of companies worldwide with integrated security solutions. Its machine learning-powered User and Entity Behavioral Analytics (UEBA) platform enables its customers to aggregate data from devices across the enterprise and monitor for high-risk behavior. The security analytics platform uncovers critical problems such as compromised accounts, corporate espionage, intellectual property theft and fraud. With UEBA, organizations are able to protect their data and respond to threats from any source.
With a behavioral model, getting more data doesn’t necessarily help. Understanding the data you have is what it’s all about. It’s that sense-making that makes this product different.
