System and method for unsupervised abstraction of sensitive data for detection model sharing across entities

An abstraction system for generating a standard customer profile in a data processing system has a processing device and a memory. The abstraction system may receive customer data from a computing device over a network, the customer data including information for a plurality of customers and perform unsupervised learning on the customer data to produce a plurality of clusters of customers with a plurality of features in common, determine that a cluster represents a standard customer and store a plurality of standard customer profiles based on the determined standard customers. The abstraction system may also provide the standard customer profiles to a cognitive system for generating synthetic transaction data based on the standard customer, generate a detection model for detecting activity based on the synthetic transaction data, and distribute the detection model to each of the computing devices over the network.
