# CYB006 — Synthetic Login Activity Dataset (Sample)

**XpertSystems.ai Synthetic Data Platform · SKU: CYB006-SAMPLE · Version 1.0.0**

This is a **free preview** of the full **CYB006 — Synthetic Login Activity
Dataset** product. It contains roughly **~1.3% of the full dataset** at
identical schema, threat-actor-tier distribution, and statistical fingerprint,
so you can evaluate fit before licensing the full product.

> 🤖 **Trained baseline available:**
> [**xpertsystems/cyb006-baseline-classifier**](https://huggingface.co/xpertsystems/cyb006-baseline-classifier)
> — XGBoost + PyTorch MLP for **3-class user-risk-tier classification**
> (insider-threat scoring use case), stratified split, multi-seed evaluation
> (ROC-AUC 0.812 ± 0.048). **Includes a structural-leakage diagnostic on
> the threat-actor detection task** that buyers planning ATO / threat-actor
> ML work should read first.

## Dataset Summary

CYB006 simulates enterprise login activity as a **6-phase session state
machine** across diverse identity infrastructures, with:

- **4 threat-actor capability tiers**: script_kiddie, opportunistic,
  advanced_persistent_threat (APT), nation_state — with per-tier credential
  attack patterns, MFA bypass propensity, lateral hop distributions, and
  Golden Ticket / Pass-the-Hash abuse rates
- **8 identity domain types**: on-premises AD, Azure AD, Okta, hybrid_joined,
  SAML federated, zero_trust_ztna, PAW (privileged access workstation),
  SaaS application portal — each with distinct detection_strength and
  resilience scores
- **MFA challenge methods**: disabled, SMS, TOTP, push notification,
  phishing-resistant FIDO2 — with per-method bypass propensity calibration
- **6 session lifecycle phases**: pre_auth_probe, credential_submission,
  mfa_challenge, session_active, lateral_traversal, session_termination
- **Geo-velocity modeling** with impossible travel detection via Haversine
  distance and per-user expected geolocation baselines
- **UEBA scoring** with calibrated false-positive rates
- **Conditional Access (CA) policy enforcement** modeling — ZTNA block
  strength tunable per architecture

## Trained Baseline Available

A working baseline classifier trained on this sample is published at
**[xpertsystems/cyb006-baseline-classifier](https://huggingface.co/xpertsystems/cyb006-baseline-classifier)**.

| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Primary task | **3-class user_risk_tier classification** (insider-threat scoring) |
| Diagnostic | Audit of threat-actor detection on this sample (see `leakage_diagnostic.json`) |
| Models | XGBoost (`model_xgb.json`) + PyTorch MLP (`model_mlp.safetensors`) |
| Features | 34 per-user features (aggregates + non-leaky session aggregates + engineered) |
| Split | **Stratified by user_risk_tier** — user-level task, n=200 |
| Validation | Single seed + multi-seed aggregate across 10 seeds |
| Demo | `inference_example.ipynb` — end-to-end copy-paste |
| Headline metrics | XGBoost: accuracy 0.700 ± 0.082, macro ROC-AUC 0.812 ± 0.048 (multi-seed) |

**Important diagnostic finding for buyers planning threat-actor detection
work:** the model card documents that this sample's threat-actor-vs-legitimate
session populations have **non-overlapping anomaly score distributions**
across at least six feature groups (velocity, timestamp, credential attempt
count, login outcome, geo country, device trust). As a result, a plain
XGBoost achieves 100% test accuracy on threat-actor binary detection that
does not reflect real-world detection difficulty. The baseline model
targets `user_risk_tier` instead, which is a legitimate ML task on the
sample. See the model card's [Leakage diagnostic](https://huggingface.co/xpertsystems/cyb006-baseline-classifier#leakage-diagnostic)
section for the full audit and recommendations.

## Calibrated Benchmark Targets

The full product is calibrated to **12 benchmark validation tests** drawn
from authoritative identity security sources (Microsoft Digital Defense
Report, Okta Customer Identity Trends, Verizon DBIR, CISA Joint Advisories,
Mandiant M-Trends, MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations, Gartner IAM Hype Cycle,
KuppingerCole Leadership Compass).

**Benchmark categories** (calibrated in both sample and full product):

1. **Credential attack velocity** — brute force (~50 RPS), password spray (<1 RPS)
2. **Account takeover rate by tier** — graduated by attacker capability
3. **MFA bypass rate** — FIDO2 ≤1%, push/SMS variable
4. **Impossible travel rate** — 7-12% of sessions
5. **Lateral movement depth** — capped per tier (script_kiddie ≤1.2 → nation_state ≤14)
6. **Privilege escalation rate** — conditional on lateral movement
7. **MFA fatigue burst timing** — Poisson λ=7 burst pattern
8. **UEBA false positive rate** — calibrated to 10-14% range
9. **Golden Ticket / Pass-the-Hash detection gap** — stealth modeling
10. **Session duration anomaly separation** — KL divergence proxy
11. **Conditional Access block rate** — ZTNA ≥88% for untrusted
12. **Kill-chain completion rate** — phase-to-phase progression

Sample benchmark results:

| Test | Description | Verdict |
|------|-------------|---------|
| T01 | Credential Attack Velocity | ✓ PASS |
| T02 | Account Takeover Rate by Tier | ✓ PASS |
| T03 | MFA Bypass Rate (FIDO2) | ✓ PASS |
| T04 | Impossible Travel Rate | ✓ PASS |
| T05 | Lateral Movement Depth by Tier | ✓ PASS |
| T06 | Privilege Escalation Rate | ✓ PASS |
| T07 | MFA Fatigue Burst Detection | ✓ PASS |
| T08 | UEBA False Positive Rate | ✓ PASS |
| T09 | Golden Ticket / PtH Detection Gap | ✓ PASS |
| T10 | Session Duration Anomaly Separation | ✓ PASS |
| T11 | Conditional Access Block Rate (ZTNA) | ✓ PASS |
| T12 | Kill-Chain Completion Rate | ✓ PASS |

*Note: some benchmarks (e.g. nation-state account takeover rates, Golden
Ticket detection) require larger sample sizes to converge tightly because
they're conditional on small attacker-tier subsets (nation_state ≈ 2% of
all sessions, APT ≈ 3%). The full product demonstrates all 12 benchmarks
with strong statistical power.*

users    = pd.read_csv("user_risk_summary.csv")

domains  = pd.read_csv("identity_topology.csv")

# Join session data with user-level risk labels
enriched = sessions.merge(users, on="user_id", how="left",
                          suffixes=("", "_user"))

# Threat-actor tier classification target (4-class) — see leakage diagnostic
y_tier = sessions["threat_actor_capability_tier"]

# Binary impossible-travel target
y_it = sessions["impossible_travel_flag"]
