Securonix

Another company that McAfee could buy if it was looking to boost its security analytics capabilities is Securonix, which offers a platform for user behavior analytics. The platform uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to spot anomalies across hosts, network and applications, identify privileged account misuse, and allow for data-driven analysis, investigation, and controls. These capabilities help boost security analytics capabilities around identity and access management, data exfiltration, network security, application security, privileged account access, big data security, threat analytics, continuous risk monitoring, compliance, and more, the company says.
