How Blended Attacks Work

A blended attack is one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of a bad actor intending harm to digital assets and computing systems. A blended attack is a sophisticated cyber attack that utilizes a mix of malicious code, computer viruses, worms or Trojan horses and exploits multiple software or hardware vulnerabilities known to the attacker.

The idea of collecting data from logs and using this data for analyzing the behavior of software applications, endpoints and servers dates back to the 80s. It took over a decade for the first Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems to appear as an on-premise security tool that collects logs from multiple collection points to detect abnormal activity.

When an organization has a highly remote workforce or shifts its operations to remote working, even temporarily, they could be opening their network to many risks. One way to mitigate them is by implementing UEBA software. UEBA stands for User and Event Behavior Analytics or User and Entity Behavior Analytics, depending on who you ask.
