Explanation

User behavior analytics (UBA) tools are the best control for detecting internal breaches because they establish behavioral baselines for each user and flag anomalies-such as unusual access times, bulk data downloads, or access to data outside a user's normal scope-that may indicate insider threats or compromised accounts. DLP systems (A) focus on data exfiltration at the perimeter, not on internal behavioral patterns. Employee background checks (C) are a pre-employment preventive control, not a detection control. Data classification (D) is a foundational control but does not actively detect breaches.
