Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method of monitoring data access activity of a user of a system is presented here. The method maintains a respective score for each of a plurality of monitored data access events, resulting in a set of scores for the user. The method continues by monitoring behavior of the user to detect occurrences of the monitored data access events, and updating the set of scores in response to detected occurrences of the monitored data access events. The method initiates an appropriate course of action when the updated set of scores is indicative of unauthorized, suspicious, or illegitimate data access activity.
