ML Based Policies

To access the Machine Learning Based (ML Based) policy page, go to Policies > Behavior Analytics > ML Based tab. Machine learning models provide detections indicating suspicious insider behavior, suspicious network access, and suspicious device activity indicating a compromised device.

Important

Basic UBA or UBA standard includes UEBA 9 predefined sequential rules. Advanced UBA includes UEBA ML models, UEBA user scoring with user confidence index (UCI), UCI based inline policies, and Custom UBA sequence rules.

Contact Support to enable this feature in your account, additional licensing is required.

Once your account is enabled with Advanced UBA, you can turn the ML based policy page on or off. Click UEBA_ML_policy_edit.jpg (image above #7) to turn ML on or off.

Tip

All grayed out features or tabs means the feature is disabled by your admin or globally it's disabled because you need additional licensing.
