Providing differentially private data with causality preservation

An enterprise application landscape comprising:

• at least one enterprise software system;
• an enterprise threat detection system for providing at least one data analyst with sanitized log data derived from a log table associated with the enterprise software system, the log table having at least one continuous column having continuous entries with continuous values;
• and
• a privacy module for selecting a retention probability parameter and an accuracy radius parameter, wherein the privacy module initializes a probability distribution function with the retention probability parameter and the accuracy radius parameter, wherein for each continuous value in the continuous values the probability distribution function is applied to the continuous value to compute a perturbed continuous value, resulting in at least one perturbed continuous column, and wherein the at least one perturbed continuous column is provided to an intrusion detection system repository that by way of queries and responses provides the sanitized log to the data analyst.
