Splunk User Behavior Analytics (UBA) vs. Trellix Intelligent Sandbox

Splunk User Behavior Analytics application is necessary when any company wants to capture the threat based on user behavior instead of just counting the number of occurrences of particular event. With Splunk UBA, we can analyse number of anomalies captured and which in turn creating threats which are nearly true positive.

McAfee Advanced Threat Defense is great in large enterprise environments with large, highly segmented networks. The administrator can create exceptions for specific applications as well as create exceptions through HAS which is very convenient for applications created in house. I do not recommend installing it on a computer with little ram memory, since this product demands a lot of resources and can be clearly distinguished in the Windows task monitor.

Personally, I have only called our internal IT team about needing changes to permissions, not McAfee itself, but our IT team can make the changes though it seems to take them longer than I would think it needs to take. As someone who administers a different program, with different permissions, I would feel they should be able to make the exceptions faster and easier.

Easier we were using Splunk Enterprise on heavy forwarder on which all the add-on were installed and were using Splunk Cloud with respect to search head and indexers stack. And with Splunk Enterprise Security premium app, we were relying on correlation rules which were throwing more number of false positive but after implementing Splunk UBA, we are now getting real-time true positive threat or incidents.

McAfee brand is used, mcafee antivirus scan, mcafee drive encryption, mcafee DLP, mcafee cloud proxy. He Kaspersky at the corporate level and used his admin dashboard is a bit rough. I recommend mcafee since the graphical environment is very friendly with the administrator. We selected it because at the administration level it is more comfortable, support for end users is very easy, the administration console can create roles and segregate permissions.

• Fewer team members to work on real threats.
• Less time required to deal with real incidents.
• Easy to implement across the network.

Incentivized

• It does provide real-time threat prevention
• Good customer support
• System needs high configuration for seamless operation
