NextGen InfoSec Acronym Soup: IPS, ATP, SIEM, CTD, & UEBA

Gartner released some guidance about next generation InfoSec tools and the acronym UEBA caught the eye. 

User and entity behavioral analytics (UEBA) look to tie some usual suspects (e.g., IPS, SIEM) with quasi-new kids (i.e., advanced threat protection: ATP).  This new paradigm is also referred to as cyber threat defense (CTD) by vendors like Cisco.

Watch for newcomers like Cylance and Alert Logic to expand on UEBA for on and off premise solutions in the near future.
