behavior-based security

Behavior-based security is a method that monitors how users and systems act to identify potential threats. Instead of relying solely on known virus signatures, it looks for unusual or suspicious activities—like rare login times or unusual file access—to detect malicious behavior. This approach helps catch new or evolving threats that traditional security measures might miss. By understanding normal behavior patterns and flagging deviations, behavior-based security enhances overall protection against cyberattacks in a proactive way.
