Insider Threat Detection Products

B.

The most appropriate product category for identifying malicious actions by users as part of an insider threat program is User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), therefore option C is the correct answer.

UEBA is a security product category that uses machine learning and statistical analysis to identify abnormal user and entity behavior that may be indicative of an insider threat. It analyzes various data sources, such as logs, network traffic, and user behavior, to create baselines of normal activity for each user and entity.

When an individual's activity deviates from their normal behavior, it can indicate an insider threat, such as an employee stealing sensitive data or attempting to sabotage the network. UEBA solutions can provide alerts to security analysts, who can then investigate and mitigate potential threats.

The other options are as follows:

• SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) is a standard for exchanging vulnerability and configuration data between different security tools, but it does not focus on insider threats.
• SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) is a product category that automates security operations tasks, such as incident response and threat hunting, but it does not specifically focus on identifying insider threats.
• WAF (Web Application Firewall) is a type of firewall that specifically protects web applications from attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). While it can help protect against insider threats that involve web applications, it does not address other types of insider threats.
