Abstract: 

User behavior analytics (UBA) is an emerging set of security controls and processes that inspect patterns of user behavior and apply various methods to identify anomalies and events within that behavior representative of security threats. Rather than focus on networks, systems, or applications, UBA centers on the user, particularly user access of cloud data, and is intended to identify malicious insiders, compromised users, fraud, and various advanced attacks.

In this session, we’ll talk about the Netflix solution for UBA, including the data processing architecture, various analytic components that identify abnormal patterns, and systems that drive appropriate action. In addition, we will share some critical success factors and learnings as we embarked on this journey.
