Abstract
A processing device comprises a processor coupled to a memory and is configured to obtain data characterizing login events for multiple user identifiers. The data associated with a given one of the user identifiers is processed to generate a login profile for a corresponding user, and likelihood statistics are generated for respective ones of multiple time bins based on the login profile. Data characterizing one or more additional login events for the given user identifier is obtained, and a confidence measure is generated for a given one of the additional login events based on one or more of the likelihood statistics and a time bin associated with the given additional login event. The confidence measure is compared to a threshold and an alert relating to the given additional login event is generated and transmitted to a security agent. The processing device may be implemented in a network security system.
