Abstract: A cloud security system and method implements cloud activity threat detection using analysis of cloud usage user behavior. In particular, the cloud security system and method implements threat detection for users, cloud service providers, or tenants (enterprises) of the cloud security system who are new or unknown to the cloud security system and therefore lacking sufficient cloud activity data to generate an accurate behavior model for effective threat detection. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, the cloud security system and method performs user behavior analysis to generate generalized user behavior models for user groups, where each user group includes users with similar cloud usage behavior. The user behavior models of the user groups are assigned to users with sparse cloud activity data. In this manner, the cloud security system and method of the present invention ensures effective threat detection by using accurate and reliable user behavior models.

Abstract: A system and method for filtering detected anomalies in cloud service usage activities associated with an enterprise uses a trusted location analysis to filter detected anomalies. The locations from which the cloud usage activities are made are analyzed and designated as trusted or non-trusted. The trusted location determination is used to filter the detected anomalies that are associated with trusted locations and therefore may be of low risk. In this manner, actions can be taken only on detected anomalies that are associated with non-trusted locations and therefore may be high risk. The system and method of the present invention enable security incidents, anomalies and threats from cloud activity to be detected, filtered and annotated based on the location heuristics. The trusted location analysis identifies trusted locations automatically using cloud activity usage data and does not rely on potentially unreliable location data from user input.
