Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to the field of detecting a behavioral anomaly in an application. In one exemplary aspect, a method may comprise retrieving and identifying at least one key metric from historical usage information for an application on a computing device. The method may comprise generating a regression model configured to predict usage behavior associated with the application and generating a statistical model configured to identify outliers in the data associated with the at least one key metric. The method may comprise receiving usage information in real-time for the application. The method may comprise predicting, using the regression model, a usage pattern for the application indicating expected values of the at least one key metric. In response to determining that the usage information does not correspond to the predicted usage pattern and does not comprise a known outlier, the method may comprise detecting the behavioral anomaly.
