| WHAT: | Cyber criminals are using increasingly advanced techniques to obtain legitimate credentials and takeover high-value accounts. It is extremely difficult to detect criminal use of legitimate user credentials using traditional security mechanisms. In this session, “Fraud, Insider Threat & Access Misuse” the speakers will discuss how User Behavior Analytics (UBA) technology can detect anomalous or irregular account behavior, similar to the way fraud detection systems monitor credit card activity. They will explain how analytics are being applied to identity-based data from various sources to profile, baseline and risk score activity. The presenters will cover how this new approach is making it possible to detect otherwise “invisible” account takeovers and insider threats in order to prevent fraud. |
