+# CYB007 Baseline Classifier
+
+**Insider-threat type classifier trained on the CYB007 synthetic
+insider-threat sample. Predicts which of 3 actor types
+(`negligent_user` / `malicious_employee` / `privileged_insider`) is
+behind an observed insider incident from per-timestep trajectory
+telemetry.**
+
+> **Baseline reference, not for production use.** This model demonstrates
+> that the [CYB007 sample dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/xpertsystems/cyb007-sample)
+> is learnable end-to-end and gives prospective buyers a working starting
+> point for insider-threat detection research. It is not a production
+> UEBA system, DLP engine, or HR-investigation tool. See [Limitations](#limitations).
+
+## Model overview
+
+| Property | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Task | 3-class actor_threat_type classification |
+| Training data | `xpertsystems/cyb007-sample` (32,500 timesteps across 500 incidents) |
+| Models | XGBoost + PyTorch MLP |
+| Input features | 28 (after one-hot encoding) |
+| Split | **Group-aware by incident_id** (disjoint train/val/test incidents) |
+| Validation | Single seed (artifact) + multi-seed aggregate across 10 seeds |
+| License | CC-BY-NC-4.0 (matches dataset) |
+| Status | Reference baseline |
+
+## Why this task — CYB007 ships the README's stated headline use case
+
+This is the second XpertSystems baseline (after CYB005) that ships
+the **dataset's stated headline use case** rather than pivoting away
+from it. The CYB007 README's first suggested use case is "training
+insider threat classifier models (4-tier actor attribution)", and
+that is the task this baseline trains on (with one schema correction:
+the sample data contains 3 of the 4 tiers — `compromised_account` is
+absent from the sample).
+
+CYB003 (malware family), CYB004 (phishing actor tier), and CYB006
+(threat-actor tier) all had to pivot away from their README headline
+targets — n=100 groups isn't enough to support group-aware tier
+classification, and CYB006 in particular had structural distributional
+leakage. CYB007's 500 incidents (matching CYB005's profile of 500
+campaigns × 75 timesteps) is large enough that tier attribution learns
+honestly under group-aware splitting, with no oracle features and
+multi-seed std of just 0.012.
+
+Two model artifacts are published. They are designed to be used
+together — disagreement is a useful triage signal. **Unusually for the
+XpertSystems baseline catalog, on CYB007 the MLP slightly outperforms
+XGBoost on the test fold** (0.869 vs 0.853 accuracy at seed 42, 0.966
+vs 0.963 ROC-AUC):
+
+- `model_xgb.json` — gradient-boosted trees
+- `model_mlp.safetensors` — PyTorch MLP in SafeTensors format
+
+## Quick start

+pip install xgboost torch safetensors pandas huggingface_hub

+
+## Training data
+
+Trained on the public sample of CYB007, 32,500 per-timestep telemetry
+rows from 500 insider threat incidents (65 timesteps per incident):
+
+| Tier | Incidents | Timestep rows | Class share |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| `negligent_user` | 250 | 16,250 | 50.0% |
+| `malicious_employee` | 150 | 9,750 | 30.0% |
+| `privileged_insider` | 100 | 6,500 | 20.0% |
+
+### Group-aware split
+
+A single incident generates 65 highly-correlated timesteps. Random
+row-level splitting would put timesteps from the same incident in both
+train and test, inflating metrics in a way that does not generalize to
+new incidents.
+
+This release uses **GroupShuffleSplit by `incident_id`** (nested,
+70/15/15):
+
+| Fold | Incidents | Timesteps |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Train | 350 | 22,750 |
+| Validation | 75 | 4,875 |
+| Test | 75 | 4,875 |
+
+All test incidents are completely unseen during training. Class
+imbalance is addressed with `class_weight='balanced'` (XGBoost
+`sample_weight`) and weighted cross-entropy (MLP).
+
+## Feature pipeline
+
+The bundled `feature_engineering.py` is the canonical feature recipe.
+28 features survive after encoding, drawn from:
+
+- **Per-timestep numeric** (7): `timestep`, `data_access_volume_mb`, `privilege_event_count`, `communication_anomaly_score`, `dlp_confidence_score`, `exfiltration_volume_mb_cumulative`, `behavioural_risk_score`
+- **Per-timestep categorical** (3, one-hot): `incident_phase` (8 values), `detection_outcome` (4 values), `target_data_sensitivity_tier` (3 values)
+- **Engineered** (6): `log_data_volume`, `log_cumulative_exfil`, `exfil_velocity`, `is_privileged_event`, `risk_x_dlp_composite`, `is_late_stage`
+
+### Leakage audit
+
+Two features have strongly tier-correlated means but with substantial
+distributional overlap. **Neither was dropped**:
+
+| Feature | Distribution by tier | Verdict |
+|---|---|---|
+| `data_access_volume_mb` | negligent [0, 88] mean 14 / malicious [0, 328] mean 44 / privileged [0, 2541] mean 302; median ~9 MB for all three | Massive overlap in [0, 88]; real signal, not oracle. KEEP. |
+| `exfiltration_volume_mb_cumulative` | negligent [0, ~50] mean 5 / malicious [0, ~500] mean 90 / privileged [0, ~10000] mean 818 | Heavy-tailed with overlap in low-quantile region. KEEP. |
+
+The honest test: dropping both features collapses accuracy from 0.85
+to 0.47 (below the 0.50 majority baseline). This confirms they carry
+legitimate discriminative signal that **defines what `privileged_insider`
+means** — a privileged user with elevated data access — rather than
+being an oracle leak.
+
+`detection_outcome` is a near-oracle for **incident phase** (purity
+0.79, max 1.00 for reconnaissance which is 100% `suppressed`). But its
+purity vs **tier** is uniform (~0.50 across all tiers), so it has no
+oracle relationship to the target. KEEP.
+
+No columns dropped for this task.
+
+## Evaluation
+
+### Test-set metrics, seed 42 (n = 4,875 timesteps from 75 disjoint incidents)
+
+**XGBoost** (the published `model_xgb.json` artifact)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---:|
+| Macro ROC-AUC (OvR) | **0.9628** |
+| Accuracy | **0.8529** |
+| Macro-F1 | 0.8496 |
+| Weighted-F1 | 0.8543 |
+
+**MLP** (the published `model_mlp.safetensors` artifact) — **slightly outperforms XGBoost**
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---:|
+| Macro ROC-AUC (OvR) | **0.9661** |
+| Accuracy | **0.8685** |
+| Macro-F1 | 0.8636 |
+| Weighted-F1 | 0.8682 |
+
+The MLP outperforming XGBoost is unusual for tabular data and unusual
+within the XpertSystems baseline catalog — CYB001–CYB006 all had
+XGBoost ahead. With 22,750 training rows and only 28 features, the
+MLP has enough data to fit cleanly and the tabular advantage of trees
+is reduced. Both models are published.
+
+### Multi-seed robustness (XGBoost, 10 seeds)
+
+Very stable performance — std 0.012 on accuracy is among the tightest
+in the XpertSystems catalog:
+
+| Metric | Mean | Std | Min | Max |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| Accuracy | 0.855 | 0.012 | 0.831 | 0.873 |
+| Macro-F1 | 0.839 | 0.010 | 0.829 | 0.860 |
+| Macro ROC-AUC OvR | 0.961 | 0.007 | 0.949 | 0.972 |
+
+Full per-seed results in [`multi_seed_results.json`](./multi_seed_results.json).
+All 10 seeds yielded all 3 tiers in the test fold.
+
+### Per-class F1 (seed 42)
+
+| Tier | Class share | XGBoost F1 | MLP F1 |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| `negligent_user` | 50% | 0.876 | 0.894 |
+| `privileged_insider` | 20% | 0.846 | 0.856 |
+| `malicious_employee` | 30% | 0.826 | 0.841 |
+
+The model performs evenly across all three tiers — no class collapse.
+The strongest performance on `privileged_insider` despite it being
+the minority class (20%) confirms that the volume-based behavioural
+signature (sustained large data access) is reliably discriminative.
+`malicious_employee` is the marginally hardest tier because they
+operate in a middle zone — more aggressive than negligent users but
+without the privileged access volumes that distinguish insiders.
+
+### Ablation: which feature groups matter
+
+| Configuration | Accuracy | Macro-F1 | ROC-AUC | Δ accuracy |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| Full feature set (published) | 0.8529 | 0.8496 | 0.9628 | — |
+| No volume features | 0.4890 | 0.4736 | 0.6828 | **−0.3639** |
+| No behavioural features | 0.7126 | 0.7055 | 0.8961 | −0.1403 |
+| No `timestep` | 0.8394 | 0.8336 | 0.9569 | −0.0135 |
+| No context features | 0.8544 | 0.8490 | 0.9632 | −0.0000 |
+| No engineered features | 0.8597 | 0.8560 | 0.9629 | +0.0068 |
+
+Four findings:
+
+1. **Volume features carry the overwhelmingly dominant signal**
+   (drops 36 pp accuracy, 28 pp ROC-AUC when removed). This is by
+   design — privileged insiders are *defined* by access to large
+   data volumes, and the synthetic generator models this faithfully.
+2. **Behavioural features (privilege events, communication anomaly,
+   DLP confidence, risk scores) contribute 14 pp accuracy.** They
+   add a second axis of discrimination beyond pure volume.
+3. **`timestep` contributes only 1 pp.** Tier attribution is largely
+   invariant to where in the incident lifecycle you are — different
+   from phase prediction, which is strongly timestep-driven.
+4. **Context features (incident_phase, sensitivity tier) and
+   engineered composites are recovered by the trees from raw inputs.**
+   They are retained in the pipeline as a documented baseline reference
+   but contribute essentially zero on their own.
+
+### Architecture
+
+**XGBoost:** multi-class gradient boosting (`multi:softprob`, 3 classes),
+`hist` tree method, class-balanced sample weights, early stopping on
+validation mlogloss.
+
+**MLP:** `28 → 128 → 64 → 3`, each hidden layer followed by `BatchNorm1d`
+→ `ReLU` → `Dropout(0.3)`, weighted cross-entropy loss, AdamW optimizer,
+early stopping on validation macro-F1.
+
+Training hyperparameters are held internally by XpertSystems.
+
+## Limitations
+
+**This is a baseline reference, not a production insider-threat detection system.**
+
+1. **The dataset has 3 tiers, not 4.** The CYB007 README claims a
+   4-tier scheme including `compromised_account` but the sample
+   contains only `negligent_user`, `malicious_employee`, and
+   `privileged_insider`. If your work requires the 4th tier, request
+   regeneration.
+
+2. **Volume-feature dominance is a property of the dataset.** Real
+   insider-threat telemetry has more variance — some negligent users
+   accidentally trigger large data downloads, some privileged
+   insiders work patiently with small transfers. The sample's
+   per-tier volume distributions overlap, but not as much as in real
+   environments. Buyers should test the model on their own data
+   before assuming the 0.86 accuracy transfers.
+
+3. **MLP modestly outperforms XGBoost.** With 22,750 training rows,
+   the MLP has enough data to compete favorably. On smaller training
+   sets (n < 1k rows) we would expect XGBoost to be stronger.
+
+4. **Synthetic-vs-real transfer.** The dataset is synthetic and
+   calibrated to insider-threat research benchmarks (CERT Insider
+   Threat Center, Verizon DBIR, IBM Cost of Insider Threats, Ponemon
+   Institute, MITRE ATT&CK, NIST SP 800-53 / SP 800-207, Securonix,
+   Forrester UEBA, Gartner ZTNA, CrowdStrike, Mandiant). Real
+   insider telemetry has different noise characteristics, and
+   adversarial insiders may deliberately mimic negligent-user
+   patterns. Do not assume metrics transfer.
+
+5. **Adversarial robustness not evaluated.** The dataset does not
+   simulate insiders deliberately spoofing a different tier's
+   behavioural footprint to evade attribution.
+
+6. **The 75-incident test fold is robust but not large.** Multi-seed
+   std of 0.012 on accuracy confirms the metric is stable, but full
+   confidence intervals for downstream production decisions should
+   come from the full ~4,800-incident product.
+
+## Notes on dataset schema
+
+The CYB007 sample dataset README describes some fields differently
+from the actual schema. The model was trained on the actual schema;
+this note helps buyers reconcile what they read with what they receive.
+
+| What the README says | What the data actually contains |
+|---|---|
+| 4 actor tiers including `compromised_account` | **3 tiers only**: `negligent_user`, `malicious_employee`, `privileged_insider`. No `compromised_account` rows in the sample. |
+| 6 incident phases | **8 phases**: adds `idle_dwell` and `lateral_access` to the 6 documented |
+| Per-timestep columns: `payload_entropy`, `cover_actions_taken`, `dlp_alerts_raised`, `detection_flag`, `blast_radius`, `sensitive_data_accessed`, `threat_type_tier` | Actual per-timestep columns: `privilege_event_count`, `communication_anomaly_score`, `dlp_confidence_score`, `detection_outcome` (categorical 4-value, not boolean), `behavioural_risk_score`, `target_data_sensitivity_tier`, `actor_threat_type` |
+| Summary field `ueba_status` | Actual field is `ueba_deployment_status` (only on `org_topology.csv`, not on `insider_trajectories.csv` or `incident_summary.csv`) |
+| Summary field `collusion_flag` | Actual: `coordinated_incident_flag` |
+| Summary field `lateral_access_flag` | Actual: `lateral_access_count` (not boolean) |
+| Summary field `sabotage_flag` | Actual: `sabotage_events_executed` (count) |
+| Summary field `cover_tracks_flag` | Actual: `cover_tracks_events` (count) |
+| Summary field `hr_trigger_flag` | Actual: `hr_case_triggers_caused` (count) |
+| Summary field `exfiltration_success_flag` | Actual: `exfiltration_successes` (count) and `exfiltration_success_rate` (float) |
+| Summary field `dwell_time_ratio` | Not present in summary; `actor_efficiency_score` is the closest analog |
+
+None of these affects model correctness — the feature pipeline uses
+the actual column names. If you build your own pipeline against the
+dataset, use the actual columns.
+

+
+## Reproducibility
+
+Outputs above were produced with `seed = 42` (published artifact),
+group-aware nested `GroupShuffleSplit` (70/15/15 by incident_id), on
+the published sample (`xpertsystems/cyb007-sample`, version 1.0.0,
+generated 2026-05-16). The feature pipeline in `feature_engineering.py`
+is deterministic and the trained weights in this repo correspond
+exactly to the metrics above.
+
+Multi-seed results (seeds 42, 7, 13, 17, 23, 31, 45, 99, 123, 200) in
+`multi_seed_results.json` confirm robust performance across splits.
+
+The training script itself is private to XpertSystems.

+Feature pipeline for the CYB007 baseline classifier.
+
+Predicts `actor_threat_type` (3-class: negligent_user / malicious_employee
+/ privileged_insider) from per-timestep insider threat trajectory data on
+the CYB007 sample dataset.
+
+CSV inputs:
+    insider_trajectories.csv  (primary, per-timestep, 500 incidents x 65
+                               timesteps = 32,500 rows)
+    incident_summary.csv      (per-incident aggregates; reserved for
+                               future work)
+    incident_events.csv       (discrete incident event log; reserved
+                               for future work - 191 collusion records
+                               out of 38,687 events)
+    org_topology.csv          (per-department defender configuration;
+                               joinable to events but not directly to
+                               per-timestep trajectories without a
+                               department key on the trajectory row)
+
+Target classes (3):
+    negligent_user, malicious_employee, privileged_insider
+
+The CYB007 README claims 4 actor tiers (adds compromised_account) but
+the sample data contains only 3. We train on the 3 that exist.
+
+Sample-size note
+----------------
+500 incidents with 65 timesteps each is the same volume profile as
+CYB005 (500 campaigns × 75 timesteps). At this scale, group-aware
+splitting yields ~75 test incidents (~11-25 per tier), which is enough
+to learn tier attribution honestly. CYB003/4/6 pivoted away from the
+README's stated tier-attribution headline because their samples had
+only 100 groups; CYB007 ships the headline use case.
+
+Leakage audit
+-------------
+Two features have strongly tier-correlated means but with substantial
+distributional overlap:
+- data_access_volume_mb: privileged 0-2541, malicious 0-328,
+  negligent 0-88. Overlap region [0, 88] covers most timesteps for all
+  three tiers (median ~9 MB each). Real observable, not oracle. KEPT.
+- exfiltration_volume_mb_cumulative: similar shape, overlap [0, ~5].
+  Real observable. KEPT.
+
+Removing both features drops accuracy from 0.85 to 0.47 (below
+majority). This confirms they are not oracles - they carry legitimate
+discriminative signal that defines what privileged_insider means.
+
+`detection_outcome` is near-oracle for incident_phase (purity 0.79,
+max 1.00 for reconnaissance). For TIER prediction it has no oracle
+relationship (purity vs tier is uniform around 0.50). KEPT.
+
+No columns dropped for this task.

Both have substantial distributional overlap across tiers and represent legitimate observables. Removing both features drops accuracy from 0.85 to 0.47 (below majority), confirming they are real signal rather than oracle leakage. detection_outcome is a near-oracle for INCIDENT_PHASE (purity 0.79, max 1.00 for reconnaissance) but has uniform purity vs tier (~0.50) and is kept as a feature for tier prediction.
