Abstract

The present disclosure describes a self-learning system, method, and computer program for detecting cybersecurity threats in a computer network based on anomalous user behavior and multi-domain data. A computer system tracks user behavior during a user session across multiple data domains. For each domain observed in a user session, a domain risk is calculated. The user's session risk is then calculated as the weighted sum of the domain risks. A domain risk is based on individual event-level risk probabilities and a session-level risk probability from the domain. The individual event-level risk probabilities and a session-level risk probability for a domain are derived from user events of the domain during the session and are based on event-feature indicators and session-feature indicators for the domain.
