Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying malicious tenants using machine learning (ML) models and spatialized activity data within a cloud platform. A method includes accessing sequential activity data for a tenant, converting the sequential data into spatial data by creating multi-dimensional representation(s) expressing the sequential data across different timescales, training an ML model based on the spatial data, and deploying the trained ML model in the cloud platform to detect tenants engaged in malicious activities. A method also includes accessing sequential activity data for a tenant, converting the sequential data into spatial data by creating multi-dimensional representation(s) expressing the sequential data across different timescales, inputting the spatial data into a trained ML model, and initiating a remedial action against the tenant based on an output indicating that activity data for the tenant has a threshold probability of being malicious.
