Cyber Security: A Peer-Reviewed Journal, 2021, vol. 4, issue 3, 202-212

Abstract: Behavioural analytics is an area of data analytics that focuses on providing insight into the actions of people, (eg system configurations, data download, hiring, approvals) which if collected and analysed can help proactively identify the intentions of an insider who looks vulnerable and can pose a risk to the organisation. Behavioural analytics is used to identify opportunities that can manage risk and proactively identify and realise specific business outcomes.
