Abstract

A device includes a processor and a memory. The processor effectuates operations including monitoring enterprise network traffic associated with one or more user device (UE). The processor further effectuates operations including comparing the enterprise network traffic to a UE profile associated with each of the one or more UE. The processor further effectuates operations including determining whether the comparison indicates that a predetermined threshold has been exceeded. The processor further effectuates operations including in response to the indication that the predetermined threshold has been exceeded, generating an alert, wherein exceeding the predetermined threshold is indicative of a denial of service attack on an enterprise network or an attempt to remove enterprise data via the one or more UE.
