Management Instrumentation ( WMI ) to gain privileged access and move laterally . It is more difficult to detect such attacks as they go unnoticed amongst the routine activities that administrators carry out using these same tools . A zero-day exploit happens when a hack occurs on the same day that a vulnerability is exposed . Due to these sophisticated methods , the mean time to identify ( MTTI ) an attack was as high as 197 days , and the mean time to contain ( MTTC ) was 69 days in 2018 .
Thus every organization needs effective security solutions to safeguard itself against threats . Early detection and resolution can save organizations a huge amount of money . Implementing a Security Information and Event Management ( SIEM ) solution that analyzes the network ’ s activities and helps to detect attacks , and a User and Entity Behavior Analysis ( UEBA ) tool that uses machine learning ( ML ) to detect users ’ and entities ’ behavior anomalies can act as a multi-layered defense strategy .
SIEM and UEBA
SIEM solutions enable organizations to collect and store logs in a central location . They also leverage different traffic flow protocols to keep track of other network activities . This makes it extremely convenient for IT administrators to set thresholds and conditions for real-time alerting in case of security incidents . SIEM solutions also enable IT administrators to correlate a series of events together to identify a threat that otherwise would have been missed . These solutions rely on known patterns or “ signatures ” to identify a threat vector . p
