6 essential tools for building successful security analytics

Security analytics is enhanced by integrating generative AI (GenAI) into platforms, empowering security teams to proactively detect anomalies and mitigate threats such as targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs). Key tools like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Cloud Security, Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR), User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), and Threat Intelligence Platforms (TIP) are essential for building a robust security analytics framework. GenAI enhances predictive analytics, behavioral analysis, and automated incident response, leading to improved threat detection and incident response. Each tool in the security analytics stack works together on the same data set, with GenAI supplementing workflows to address dynamic threats, emphasizing a holistic approach to cybersecurity.
