What kind of analysis does FortiInsight provide?

FortiInsight is designed specifically for User and Entity Behavior Analysis (UEBA). This means it focuses on observing and analyzing user activities within the network to identify any deviations from normal behavior that might indicate potential security threats, such as insider threats or compromised accounts. By leveraging machine learning and analytics, FortiInsight can establish a baseline of typical behavior for users and external entities, allowing it to detect anomalies that could signify malicious activity.

This functionality is crucial for security teams as it enhances their ability to respond proactively to risks that traditional security measures might miss. The analysis provides critical insights into user interactions, access patterns, and potential threats, thus improving an organization's overall security posture.

While network traffic analysis, vulnerability scanning, and device performance monitoring are vital components of network security and management, they focus on different aspects of security and do not provide the comprehensive behavioral insights that FortiInsight offers.
