User behavior analytics

User behavior analytics (UBA) or user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA),[1] is the concept of analyzing the behavior of users, subjects, visitors, etc. for a specific purpose.[2] It allows cybersecurity tools to build a profile of each individual's normal activity, by looking at patterns of human behavior, and then highlighting deviations from that profile (or anomalies) that may indicate a potential compromise.[3][4][5]
