Abstract
A privileged account management system can maintain a database that defines a normal amount of data that should be transferred over a remote session and/or a normal rate at which the data should be transferred when performing a particular task. Using a reason code used to obtain a remote session and possibly a combination of various different characteristics of the remote session, the system can access the database to identify the appropriate normal amount and/or normal rate. The system can then compare the amount and/or rate of data transferred over the remote session to the appropriate normal amount and/or normal rate to detect when an abnormal amount and/or abnormal rate is being transferred. In cases where abnormal behavior is detected, the system can determine that the remote session is likely being used in an improper manner, and can take action to mitigate any potential harm to the server.
