Methods and systems are disclosed for using a feature hierarchy with multiple levels with a different number of features at different levels to segment a dataset. The mechanism may use the first level of the hierarchy to segment a dataset into multiple datasets and then generate a timeseries dataset for each segment. Those timeseries datasets may be input into an anomaly detection model to identify a number of anomalies detected within those segments. Based on the number of anomalies not reaching a threshold, a second level of the hierarchy may be used to segment the dataset. Those segments may be input into the anomaly detection model to determine a number of anomalies for the second level. This process may continue until a level of the hierarchy is determined such that the number of anomalies reaches the threshold. The mechanism may then generate a security rule to deal with the anomalies.
