Case Study

Heuristic Behavior Analytics at VA

Problem

VA’s cybersecurity team faced alert fatigue and low detection accuracy across its distributed environment. Static, rule-based systems failed to identify evolving threats or reduce analyst workload.

Solution

We deployed a Heuristic Behavior Analytics (HBA) framework combining UEBA, signal correlation, risk scoring, and contextual dashboards—enhancing detection without adding tool sprawl.

Results
  • 25% drop in false positives within 90 days
  • Faster triage and improved analyst efficiency
  • Successfully flagged policy violations and lateral movement
  • Seamlessly integrated with existing VA cyber infrastructure
