As the digital transformation continues at full speed, the majority of humanity's routine activities have begun to be carried out through digital channels. As the world digitizes, the potential loot in the lap of hackers grows. That's why we witness the development of new cyber threats every day. This requires all organizations, from the smallest to the largest, to be prepared for advanced cyber attacks.

The cybersecurity threat landscape is evolving rapidly. Hackers and other malicious users are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their attack methods, rendering traditional security tools obsolete. Modern cybercriminals will use any means to break into firewalls, send emails with infected attachments, or even bribe employees to share login credentials. Businesses in all industries must identify and implement comprehensive IT security tools and strategies to protect their valuable assets.

Proper implementation of a user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) tool can solve lots of cybersecurity challenges by detecting well-hidden and slowly executed attacks, automating the analysis of alerts and logs, and speeding up incident investigation. It can even help you improve employee productivity. But implementing a UEBA solution also requires a lot of time and effort along with a clear understanding of how you are going to use it.
