Abstract:
Systems and methods include obtaining unused user accounts associated with a cloud application where an unused user account is one where a corresponding user has not accessed the cloud application in a certain period of time; determining a subset of the unused user accounts that are abnormal user accounts, wherein an abnormal user account is one that is anomalous compared to similar users; scoring and ranking the unused and abnormal user accounts; and remediating a set of the ranked unused and abnormal user accounts.
