What is UEBA?
UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics) is a category of security analytics that establishes baseline patterns of normal behavior for users, devices, and applications, then flags deviations as potential threats.
Updated 2026-05-19
UEBA emerged as a response to threats that bypass signature-based detection: insider attacks, credential compromise, and lateral movement by legitimate users using legitimate tools. Modern UEBA capabilities are typically embedded in SIEM, XDR, or ITDR products rather than sold standalone. The challenge with UEBA is investigation: a UEBA alert ("this user is behaving unusually") requires deep cross-source investigation to determine whether the deviation is malicious.
How Command Zero handles UEBA.
UEBA alerts are among the most labor-intensive Tier-2 investigations because they require context the alert itself does not provide. Command Zero runs expert investigation questions against identity, endpoint, email, and cloud data to determine whether unusual behavior reflects compromise, role change, or benign activity. The Federated Data Model means the investigation runs across all relevant data sources rather than just the system that fired the UEBA alert.
