Behaviour profiling is the process of analyzing repeated patterns in the actions, interactions, and activities of people, devices, applications, or systems to create a representation of typical behaviour. It considers factors such as frequency, timing, sequence, location, and interaction patterns rather than relying on a single event.
Behaviour profiles can be used to establish normal activity and identify meaningful deviations. In cybersecurity, for example, a profile may represent how a user or device normally accesses systems and resources. In industrial environments, profiling can capture how equipment typically operates under different conditions, helping organizations recognize unusual patterns, improve processes, and support proactive monitoring.
