Abstract
Techniques for monitoring a computing environment for anomalous activity are presented. An example method includes receiving a request to invoke an action within a computing environment, with the request including a plurality of request attributes and a plurality of contextual attributes. A normalcy score is generated for the received request by encoding the received request into a code in latent space of an autoencoder, reconstructing the request from the code, and generating a probability distribution indicating a likelihood that the reconstructed request attributes exist in a data set of non-anomalous activity. Based on the calculated normalcy score, one or more actions are taken to process the request such that execution of non-anomalous requests is allowed, and execution of potentially anomalous requests may be blocked pending confirmation.
