Article summary

The Behavior analysis section of User Behavior provides reports that display user behaviors when interacting with senhasegura resources. These reports are generated from the detection of events captured in the system that reflect behaviors deviating from the standard model considered by senhasegura. These records are essential for security management, allowing organizations to continuously monitor their IT operations. They help identify and respond to potential security threats or anomalous behaviors, ensuring a more secure and reliable infrastructure.

Functionalities

The available reports are event-based and analyze user behaviors based on behavior analysis performed by senhasegura.

  • Re-authentication logs: this report provides detailed information about all identity verification events triggered in senhasegura.

  • Unusual password change: this report provides detailed information about manual changes made to password records that are typically managed automatically by PAM Core.

Session events section

This section provides reports that assess user behavior related to completed sessions.

  • Excessive access: this report offers insights into excessive access to credentials, indicating possible anomalous behaviors or suspicious activities that require further investigation to ensure data security.

  • Access at unusual times: this report provides information about user sessions conducted at times different from previously observed patterns.

  • Access from unusual sources: this report provides details about user sessions initiated from devices other than those usually associated with the user.

  • Access with unusual duration: this report provides information about user sessions that have an unusual duration compared to the user's usage history.

  • Unusual access: this report provides information about user sessions that deviate from previously observed patterns.

Credential viewing events section

This section provides reports that assess user behavior related to credential viewing activities.

  • Excessive views: this report provides details about excessive queries for a particular credential.

  • Views at unusual times: this report provides information about password queries that occur at times different from previously observed patterns.

  • Unusual credential views: this report provides details about password queries made for credentials different from those usually associated with the user.

  • Views from unusual origins: this report provides information about password queries made from devices different from those usually associated with the user.

  • Unusual views: this report offers insights into all password queries that deviate from previously observed patterns.

Applicability

The Behavior analysis section of User Behavior is a versatile and effective tool with various practical applications in information security environments. Its comprehensive features allow:

  • Identification of security anomalies: the available reports enable the detection of unusual user behaviors, such as excessive access, sessions conducted at atypical times, or from unusual sources, and records of actions that triggered user identity verification. This helps administrators identify potential security threats and take quick corrective actions.

  • Compliance enforcement: detailed analysis of user behavior patterns helps ensure compliance with regulations and internal security policies. Identifying activities that violate established policies allows organizations to take preventive measures to avoid compliance breaches.

  • Operational efficiency enhancement: by analyzing user sessions and password queries, administrators can identify usage patterns and optimize credential distribution. This can result in improvements in operational efficiency and more effective management of information security resources.

  • Proactive risk management: the ability to identify risky sessions and excessive queries enables organizations to adopt a proactive approach to security risk management. By monitoring and responding to suspicious behaviors in real-time, administrators can reduce exposure to potential threats and better protect the organization's information assets.

Conclusion

The Behavior analysis section of User Behavior is essential for strengthening organizational security and compliance in senhasegura. Through detailed reports that identify anomalous user behavior patterns, such as excessive or unusual time access, the tool allows early threat detection and quick corrective actions. Additionally, by ensuring compliance with regulations and internal policies, optimizing operational efficiency, and enabling proactive risk management, Behavior analysis provides a comprehensive and detailed view of user activities, helping organizations effectively protect their sensitive data.
