Autoencoder-Based Anomaly Detection on Metadata Metrics for Privacy Enforcement Monitoring
Keywords:
autoencoder, anomaly detection, privacy enforcement, multivariate time series, reconstruction error, metadata metricsAbstract
A deep autoencoder can find outliers in multivariate privacy enforcement system telemetry. Autoencoders condense policy engine compilation time, content filter hit rates, and dataset access frequencies to characterise normal operational behaviour. The reconstruction error may suggest misconfigurations, regressions, or compliance issues. Z-score and exponentially weighted moving averages vs. suggested framework. Higher cardiacity improves early anomaly detection. Observability stacks provide proactive warning and privacy posture assessment without telemetry overhead. Use threshold calibration on labelled event datasets to simplify detection sensitivity vs. false positives testing. The study presents a scalable and adaptable solution to increase enterprise-grade data infrastructure telemetry systems' privacy detection time.
