Dashboards in User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) In this page

Overview

Log360 Cloud empowers security teams to detect, assess, and receive alerts for unusual user and entity behavior. Its dashboard provides organized anomaly details, flexible watchlists to prioritize specific user and entity monitoring, and customizable notifications for efficient investigation. This section elaborates the dashboards of Log360 Cloud's UEBA for efficient anomaly investigation.

Dashboards

Viewing anomaly details

Anomaly insights can be viewed via.

Every anomalous user and entity is associated with a risk score. The risk score is calculated and presented based on the analysis performed up to that point in the dashboard.

NOTE: The risk scores assigned to the users and entities will not constantly stay the same and will gradually decay over time if no anomalies are getting associated with them.

Anomaly investigation using dashboard

Anomaly insights are presented in the form of three sub-tabs in the Home dashboard of Log360 Cloud. These are:

NOTE: By default, the three tabs for anomaly investigation namely- Anomaly Trends, Users and Entities are not shown in the dashboard.The user has to manually add them in order to access a dashboard view for the same in the Home dashboard. Thereafter in subsequent logins, the tabs will be shown until they are again removed manually.

dashboards

This dashboard provides an overall summary of all the anomalies detected within a selected time range. It includes:

  1. Anomalies Detected

    Total number of anomalies identified for a specified time period.

  2. Tracked Users

    Number of unique users whose activities have been monitored up until now for anomalies.

  3. Tracked Entities

    Number of entities whose activities have been monitored up until now for anomalies.

  4. Recent Anomalies

    Lists the most recent anomaly events along with details like pattern, user, time, and confidence level.

    When clicked on a recent anomaly card, the complete details of that particular anomaly can be accessed. These are divided into:

    • Overview: Contains details that will tell about the deviation which has occurred from the generally expected behavior.
    • Event Details: These are shown for applicable anomaly types and contain finer details like the anomaly rule associated, time and details of the event, user details and log sources related to this anomaly, and a message that elaborates the trigger event that flagged the anomaly.
  5. Anomaly Trends

    A visual representation of the count of anomalies over a specified period of time.

  6. Risk Levels

    A visual representation of the count of anomalous users/entities categorized and spread across a risk score range.

  7. Top 10 Anomalous Activities

    A visual representation of the most frequent types of anomalous activities, such as logons, file modifications, or registry access, along with the frequency count.

  8. Entities Count Based on Date

    A visual representation of the number of unique anomalous entities triggered anomalies on each day over a specified period of time

  9. Anomaly Statistics

    A concise tabular representation of anomalous activities categorized by the anomaly type- Time, Count, and Pattern based anomalies.

Users dashboard

dashboards

Users dashboard under Home highlights anomalous behavior by individual users. This dashboard also displays users based on the risk score range, allowing you to focus on high-risk individuals first. The users dashboard helps prioritize investigation by displaying:

  1. Users Risk Score

    List of anomalous users ranked by their current risk scores based on their activities that are flagged as an anomaly. When clicked on any user from this widget, the user's anomaly card opens with the anomaly trend on the top followed by a table listing the anomalies contributing to the risk score of the particular user. Clicking on any anomaly message from the table provides Anomaly Details divided into:

    • Overview: Contains details that will tell about the deviation which has occurred from the generally expected behavior.
    • Event Details: These are shown for applicable anomaly types and contain finer details like the anomaly rule associated, time and details of the event, user details and log sources related to this anomaly, and a message that elaborates the trigger event that flagged the anomaly.
  2. User Risk Score Distribution

    A visual representation of the count of anomalous users categorized and spread across a risk score range.

  3. Recently Detected Users

    List of anomalous users who recently triggered anomalies, along with timestamps and their respective risk scores.

  4. Anomaly Trends

    A visual representation of the count of users' specific anomalies spread across a specified period of time.

  5. Watchlisted Users

    List of the anomalous users manually flagged for closer monitoring in the form of watchlists.

  6. Top 10 Users by Risk Score

    Anomalous users with the highest accumulated risk scores ranked by the same.

Entities dashboard

The Entities dashboard under Home is similar to the Users dashboard, but focused on machines and other network assets. It includes:

  1. Entities Risk Score

    List of anomalous entities ranked by their current risk scores based on their activities that are flagged as anomaly. When clicked on any entity from this widget, the entity's anomaly card opens with the anomaly trend on the top followed by a table listing the anomalies contributing to the risk score of the particular entity. Clicking on any anomaly message from the table provides Anomaly Details divided into:

    • Overview:

      Contains details that will tell about the deviation which has occurred from the generally expected behavior.

    • Event Details:

      These are shown for applicable anomaly types and contain finer details like the anomaly rule associated, time and details of the event, user details and log sources related to this anomaly, and a message that elaborates the trigger event that flagged the anomaly.

  2. Entity Risk Score Distribution

    A visual representation of the count of anomalous entities categorized and spread across a risk score range.

  3. Recently Detected Entities

    List of anomalous entities who recently triggered anomalies, along with timestamps and their respective risk scores.

  4. Anomaly Trends

    A visual representation of the count of entities specific anomalies spread across a specified period of time.

  5. Watchlisted Entities

    List of the anomalous entities manually flagged for closer monitoring in the form of watchlists.

  6. Top 10 Entities by Risk Score

    Anomalous entities with the highest accumulated risk scores ranked by the same.
