All users in an organization can be analyzed for abnormal user activities using log and endpoint data already collected by your NetWitness Platform.

For existing NetWitness Platform customers, NetWitness UEBA enables analysts to:

  • Discover attacks
  • Investigate emerging security threats
  • Identify potential attacker’s activity.

NetWitness UEBA resides on an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and each organization has its own VPC. If you have an on-premises NetWitness Platform deployment in your network, metadata will be uploaded to the cloud for analysis.

NetWitness Insight

NetWitness Insight is a SaaS solution available as an extension for a NetWitness Network, Detection & Response (NDR) customer. Insight is an advanced analytics solution that leverages unsupervised machine learning to empower the response of the Security Operations Center (SOC) team.

These assets are presented to analysts to guide them to focus on certain assets to protect their organization.

Insight enables you to do the following:

  • Asset discovery and characterization.
  • Monitor critical Assets.
