A Threat Analytics Engine (TAE) is a sophisticated system designed to identify, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity threats by processing and analyzing security data in real-time. The primary goal of a Threat Analytics Engine is to provide deeper insights into potential threats, detect anomalies, and identify complex attack patterns, which often elude traditional security systems.

Threat Analytics Engines link data points from various sources to provide a comprehensive view of the potential threat. For example, if an employee’s account is accessed from an unusual location and then tries to access sensitive data, the TAE can correlate these actions to detect a possible compromise.
