Behavioral analytics supports security, fraud detection, and AML models by detecting anomalies in user behavior on their devices, networks, applications, and data. Behavioral analytics empowers companies to establish a baseline for their user’s actions so they can detect a deviation from typical user behavior, which could be warning signs of a bad actor.4
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and data analytics often bolster behavioral analytics. For example, used together to analyze activity logs, companies could derive a trust score for each user based on the user’s normal behavior, compared to their past behavior, and how they compare to their peers.
