Claim One:
1. A computer implemented method for detecting anomalous behavior in a network, comprising: receiving data representing at least one network activity, each network activity representing a certain data access event occurring between certain network entities; extracting from said data representing each respective network activity, the certain network entities involved in the respective network activity; retrieving at least one relevant diversity value from a network behavior model based on said extracted certain network entities, wherein said network behavior model includes at least one diversity value, wherein each respective diversity value represents a certain relationship between at least one network entity and at least one network entity type; calculating an abnormality score for said received at least one network activity based on said retrieved at least one relevant diversity value; classifying said at least one network activity as anomalous or normal based on said calculated abnormality score; and generating an alert when said at least one network activity is classified as anomalous.
