Must use Splunk UBA to improve security posture

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In previous years, we were just relying on correlation rules which were throwing more number of false positive alerts in Splunk and which in turn creates more incidents if any ticketing tool is integrated with Splunk. This was causing more issues while handling high number of incidents with less resources as a part of the team. Aim was to reduce false positive which this product resolved our issue.
