What Is Network Behavior Anomaly Detection (NBAD)?

That's right: you heard it here first. Network Behavior Anomaly Detection (NBAD) is the real-time monitoring of a network for any unusual activity, trends or events. The NBAD tools are used as additional threat detection tools to monitor network activities and generate general alerts that often require further evaluation by the IT team. What does all this mean? Well, it means you can finally stop worrying about your network being monitored and focus on more important things like getting a good night's sleep. The NBAD tools are constantly analyzing your network and looking for any suspicious activity that could indicate a breach or compromise. So, if something looks fishy, they'll let you know! NBAD is the best way to find out what your employees are doing when you're not looking. The systems can detect threats and stop suspicious activities when traditional security software is ineffective. Additionally, the tools suggest which suspicious activities or events require further analysis. With NBAD, you can rest easy knowing that your network is safe from intruders and hackers, and if someone does manage to get in, we'll catch them before they do any damage. We're all familiar with the saying: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." That's why we think of NBAD as an "ounce of prevention" that can help keep your data safe from potential threats. Regarding security, there are two ways to protect yourself: Antivirus software and NBAD tools. Antivirus software protects against known threats identified by security researchers and documented. What about the unknown? What if there were something out there that could infect your system without even being noticed? That'd be pretty scary. That's where NBAD comes in! It checks on suspicious activities likely to compromise the network's operations by infecting the system or data theft.
