Abnormally High Number Of Cloud Instances Destroyed

This analytic identifies an abnormally high number of cloud instances being destroyed within a 4-hour period. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs and applies a probability density model to detect outliers. This activity is significant for a SOC because a sudden spike in destroyed instances could indicate malicious activity, such as an insider threat or a compromised account attempting to disrupt services. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to significant operational disruptions, data loss, and potential financial impact due to the destruction of critical cloud resources.
