Securonix UEBA is web-based security software for enterprise security teams investigating insider and advanced cyber threats. It applies AI, machine learning, and behavioral analytics to detect account takeovers, privilege misuse, lateral movement, compromised accounts, and other unusual activity. The system establishes normal patterns for users, accounts, devices, systems, machines, internet addresses, and other entities, then flags deviations. Peer-group analysis compares user behavior with peers to support automated anomaly detection, while response automation is available. Threat models align with MITRE ATT&CK and US-CERT frameworks to identify attacks that develop slowly. One-click prebuilt use cases address insider threats, intellectual property theft, fraud, and other scenarios. Securonix describes the product as cloud-native and deployable over an existing SIEM, with hybrid deployment listed. More than 500 connectors ingest hybrid-infrastructure data, including Office 365, Azure, Google Apps, AWS, Workday, and GitHub. Controls include role-based access, masking, and encryption in transit and at rest. Pricing is on request.
