An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) is a cybersecurity approach that establishes user behavioral baselines and then compares ongoing activity to those baselines to uncover suspicious or malicious behavior.
Historically, UEBA suffers from many issues: a high rate of false positives, a lack of business context, data quality issues, and privacy concerns, to name a few.
Above Security is reinventing UEBA by applying agentic AI to these challenges. Above’s agents perform silent monitoring of information from users’ browsers within an organization, identifying unusual or suspicious behavior across AI prompts, usage of SaaS apps, emails, and any other source of information available to its sensors.
Above then switches from monitoring to investigation when it detects malicious behavior. By only surfacing the malicious patterns, Above reduces false positives, protects user privacy, and gives organizations the appropriate business context for the behavior in question.
Above then generates a report of the malicious behavior, providing the necessary evidence for organizations to take the appropriate mitigation actions.
