   What is a key difference between UEBA and traditional signature-based security?

   • AUEBA detects anomalies based on learned behavior, while traditional security relies on known indicators of compromise
   • BUEBA requires manual rule updates, while traditional security automatically updates itself
   • CUEBA focuses on detecting known malware signatures, while traditional security focuses on behavior
   • DUEBA is only used for network traffic, while traditional security is only for endpoints

   How does UEBA establish a baseline of normal behavior for a user?

   • ABy comparing the user's behavior to industry-standard benchmarks
   • BBy using a predefined list of known malicious behaviors
   • CBy applying a static set of rules defined by security administrators
   • DBy analyzing historical data over a period of time to learn typical patterns of activity

   In the context of endpoint security, what does the term 'entity' refer to in UEBA?

   • AA user account, device, application, or other non-human asset that can be monitored
   • BA network firewall rule or security policy
   • CA specific malware signature or virus definition
   • DA specific type of encryption algorithm used to secure data

   Why is it important for UEBA to continuously update its baseline of normal behavior?

   • ABecause the baseline is used to encrypt data and must be refreshed regularly
   • BBecause the baseline is stored in memory and can be lost on reboot
   • CBecause user behavior can change over time due to new roles, projects, or work habits
   • DBecause the baseline must match the latest malware signatures to be effective
