Abstract
There are disclosed techniques for use in providing security in a computer network. In one embodiment, the techniques comprise a method including multiple steps. The method comprises receiving user access data characterizing user access with a protected resource within a computer network. The method also comprises evaluating the user access data to extract information therefrom that describes user access with respect to a feature of user access. The method also comprises determining a cardinality value in connection with the feature based on the extracted information and a maximum cardinality threshold. It should be appreciated that the cardinality value is limited by the maximum cardinality threshold such that the cardinality value cannot exceed the maximum cardinality threshold. The method also comprises presenting the cardinality value for facilitating fraud detection.
