BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ — LogRhythm, The Security Intelligence Company, announced that Samir Jain, senior product manager, security analytics, and Mark Settle, product marketing team manager, both at LogRhythm, will join Dave Shackleford, a SANS analyst, member of the board of directors for the SANS Technology Institute, and the founder and principal consultant at Voodoo Security, for the SANS webcast titled, “Why Insider Actions Matter: A SANS Review of LogRhythm CloudAI for User and Entity Behavior Analytics.”

When: Tuesday, February 27, 2018, 1 p.m. EST.

Who: Shackleford will discuss his experience reviewing LogRhythm CloudAI technology. He will run through various use cases, such as insider threat, account compromise and admin abuse. Jain and Settle will be on-hand to answer any questions that may be submitted.

Why: Insider actions, whether on purpose or accidental, cause the majority of breaches reported by respondents to multiple SANS surveys conducted in 2017. Yet these same responses also indicate that user activities, including those performed through breached credentials, are often not analyzed in threat management lifecycles.

When threats occur, understaffed SOCs usually lack easy access to contextual information, including baselined user behavior, how users authenticate, machine-to-machine connections, and whitelisted workstations and applications. This lack of visibility is a key problem that LogRhythm’s CloudAI technology–applied to user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA)–was built to solve. Using supervised and unsupervised learning, CloudAI establishes baselines and then monitors user behavior and automatically scores user actions as harmless, risky, or malicious based on multiple criteria.

During this webcast, attendees will learn how LogRhythm CloudAI technology:

• Detects user activities indicative of threats or compromises
• Scores user activities and provides recommendations or takes automated actions
• Supports threat hunting and incident response capabilities
• Improves the machine learning experience through supervised and unsupervised learning
