1. A method for detecting unauthorized access to cloud applications based on velocity events, comprising:

  • identifying a first access attempt to a cloud application at a first time and from a first location;

    identifying a second access attempt to a cloud application at a second time and from a second location;

    computing a velocity between the first access attempt and the second access attempt based on the first time, the second time, the first location, and the second location;

    checking if the computed velocity is greater than a velocity threshold; and

    generating a velocity event when the computed velocity is greater than the velocity threshold, wherein the velocity event indicates that an access attempt is unauthorized.
