SAGE AI ANOMALY DETECTION

An authorised action is not always a normal one.

Authorization concepts decide what a user may do. Sage AI learns what each user and system actually does, and raises the activity that breaks the pattern — with the reason attached.

HOW IT WORKS

From history to a judgement

01

Learn

The audit trail itself is the training data: what each user runs, in which system, when and how much.

02

Compare

Every new event is weighed against the history of that user, their peers and that system.

03

Score

Unusual activity raises a risk score on the user, so several small oddities add up.

04

Explain

Each anomaly states what was expected, what happened and why it matters.

WHAT IT NOTICES

Patterns no fixed threshold describes.

WHEN

Unusual time

Activity at hours when this user has never been active.

WHERE

Unusual place

A logon from a terminal or an RFC call from a system new to this user.

HOW MUCH

Unusual volume

Many times more records displayed, changed or exported than the user's own norm.

WHAT

Unusual transaction

Transaction codes this user and their team have never started.

WHO

Unusual privilege

Authorizations granted or used in a way that does not match past administration.

IN WHAT ORDER

Unusual sequence

Individually ordinary steps that together look like preparation for something else.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

What an anomaly looks like when it arrives.

Each one is written to be read by the person who has to decide what to do next.

SAP_ALL assigned at 02:14SAGE AI

An administrator assigned a broad profile to a dialog user in production. They have never done so before and have no night-time activity in their history.

Bank details changed before a payment runSAGE AI

A vendor account was changed by a user outside accounts payable, shortly before the payment run, and restored the next morning.

Table browsing far beyond the normSAGE AI

The user normally displays a handful of records a day. Today they displayed thousands, from tables their team has never opened.

WHY IT MATTERS FOR COMPLIANCE

Regulators ask for monitoring, not only for logs.

Keeping records satisfies half of most requirements. The other half is showing that someone, or something, is watching them.

Fewer rules to maintain

Baselines adapt as roles change, where static thresholds have to be rewritten.

Reviewable decisions

Every anomaly keeps its explanation and its outcome, which is itself audit evidence.

Shared with your SOC

Confirmed anomalies can be forwarded to your SIEM or case management for investigation and response.
