This topic describes the built-in anomalous activity detection rules that are supported by Sensitive Data Discovery and Protection (SDDP).

Model type Model name Anomaly description Supported service
Anomalous data flow Sensitive data download in an unusual location An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to download sensitive data. Object Storage Service (OSS), ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Sensitive data download on an unusual terminal An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to download sensitive data, or an employee downloads sensitive data to a personal terminal. OSS
Sensitive data download during an unusual period An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to download sensitive data, or an employee downloads sensitive data after working hours. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Sensitive data download for the first time An account is mistakenly granted the permission to download sensitive data. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Anomalous volume of downloaded sensitive data An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to download sensitive data, or an employee maliciously backs up sensitive data. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Download of unnecessary sensitive tables An account is mistakenly granted the permission to download sensitive data. ApsaraDB RDS and MaxCompute
Unusual low log output The log feature encounters a failure. As a result, anomalous data operations cannot be effectively detected. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Anomalous volume of downloaded objects An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to download sensitive data, or an employee maliciously backs up sensitive data. OSS
Anomalous volume of downloaded data An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to download sensitive data, or an employee maliciously backs up sensitive data. ApsaraDB RDS and MaxCompute
Anomalous permission access Unusual logon time An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to log on to the service, or an employee logs on to the service after working hours. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Unusual logon terminal An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to log on to the service, or an employee logs on to the service on a personal terminal. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Unusual logon location An external attacker obtains the logon credentials of an account and uses the account to log on to the service. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Download of sensitive objects from an unusual OSS bucket An account is mistakenly granted the permission to download sensitive data. OSS
No protection for a sensitive MaxCompute project Protection is disabled for a sensitive MaxCompute project. As a result, the MaxCompute project is not protected when data flows out of it. For more information, see Project data protection. MaxCompute
LabelSecurity disabled for a sensitive MaxCompute project LabelSecurity is disabled for a sensitive MaxCompute project. As a result, the workspace administrator cannot control the access of users to sensitive data in the MaxCompute project. For more information, see Column-level access control. MaxCompute
Sensitive OSS bucket at the security level of public The security level of a sensitive OSS bucket is set to public. As a result, external users can access sensitive data in the OSS bucket by calling an API operation. OSS
Beyond the maximum idle period for a permission An unnecessary permission is granted, which violates the principle of minimum authorization. It is difficult to detect external attackers who have obtained such permissions. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Access to an object that does not exist for multiple times An external attacker repeatedly makes access attempts. OSS
Access to an unauthorized object for multiple times An external attacker repeatedly makes access attempts. OSS
Multiple failed access attempts An external attacker repeatedly makes access attempts. OSS, ApsaraDB RDS, and MaxCompute
Anomalous data operation Anomalously low risk level marked for a MaxCompute project The risk level marked for a MaxCompute project is maliciously lowered. As a result, permission control loses effectiveness and data security protection cannot cover all sensitive data. MaxCompute
Sensitive field modification in the SDDP console An employee maliciously modifies sensitive fields in the SDDP console. Data modification through applications is more risky than data modification in the SDDP console. MaxCompute
