    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying anomalous activities in a cloud computing environment are provided. According to one embodiment, a customer's infrastructure may be fortified by leveraging deep learning technology (e.g., an encoder-decoder machine-learning (ML) model) to predict events in the cloud environment. During a training phase, the ML model may be trained to make a prediction regarding a next event based on a predetermined or configurable length of a sequence of contextual events. For example, historical events (e.g., cloud application programming interface (API) events logged to a cloud activity trace) observed within the customer's cloud infrastructure over the course of a particular date range may be split into appropriate event/context pairs and fed to the ML model. Subsequently, during a run-time anomaly detection phase, the ML model may be used to predict a next event based on a sequence of immediately preceding events to facilitate identification of anomalous activity.
