Excessive Account Lockouts From Endpoint

This analytic detects endpoints that generate a high number of account lockouts within a short timeframe. It analyzes Windows security event logs, specifically the `Change` datamodel's `Account_Management` node, to count lockout events. This activity can indicate a brute-force attack or a misconfigured system causing repeated authentication failures. If malicious, it could lead to denial of service through account lockouts or signal an ongoing attempt to compromise user credentials.
