This rule detects sign-in attempts by 'Break Glass' accounts. Break Glass accounts are emergency access accounts typically used in situations where normal administrative access methods are unavailable. Monitoring their usage is critical due to the high privileges usually associated with these accounts. The rule joins sign-in logs with a watchlist of identities to specifically identify activity related to these designated accounts.

This rule detects when a guest user from a common public email domain (e.g., gmail.com, outlook.com) is invited to an Azure Active Directory (AAD) tenant and subsequently added to an AAD security group. This could indicate an attempt to grant unauthorized access to an external account or a misconfiguration allowing guest users to be added to sensitive groups.

This rule detects when an external user is invited to Azure Active Directory (AAD) from a common, publicly available email domain (e.g., gmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com). This can be an indicator of an attacker attempting to establish persistence or gain initial access by inviting an external account they control, or it could be a legitimate business process for collaboration with external parties using personal email addresses.

This rule detects potential DCSync replication abuse by monitoring Security Event ID 4662, specifically looking for access to 'domainDNS' or user objects with the GUID '1131f6aa-9c07-11d1-f79f-00c04fc2dcd2', which is associated with Directory Replication Service (DRS) permissions. It filters out machine accounts to reduce false positives.

Detects when fodhelper.exe, a legitimate Windows utility, is used to spawn processes other than cmd.exe or conhost.exe. This behavior is commonly associated with UAC bypass techniques where fodhelper.exe is abused to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges without a UAC prompt.

This rule detects suspicious user-agent strings in Microsoft Graph activity logs that are commonly associated with reconnaissance and attack tools targeting Azure AD and Microsoft 365 environments. These tools include BloodHound, ROADtools, AADInternals, and various other utilities used for enumeration, credential spraying, and other malicious activities.

Detects the creation or modification of Exchange inbox rules that move messages to potentially risky folders (e.g., Deleted Items, Junk Email, RSS Feeds, Archive, Clutter) or are configured to delete messages. This behavior can be indicative of an attacker attempting to hide malicious emails, exfiltrate data, or disrupt email flow.

This rule identifies user accounts that have one or more roles assigned to them. It queries the 'IdentityInfo' table, filters for entries where the 'AssignedRoles' field is not empty, and then projects relevant account details such as UPN, display name, assigned roles, and object ID. Finally, it summarizes the data to retrieve the most recent record for each unique account object ID.

Detects when a Managed Identity successfully authenticates via the Azure Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) and subsequently performs administrative or enumeration actions within a short timeframe. This pattern can indicate an attacker has compromised a resource (e.g., a Virtual Machine) and is using its Managed Identity to move laterally or access other resources within the Azure environment. The rule correlates successful IMDS-based sign-ins with subsequent activities such as running commands on virtual machines, or listing/getting secrets and keys from Key Vaults, or other general administrative/alert-generating activities.

Detects potential lateral movement attempts within Azure by a Service Principal (Managed Identity) executing 'runCommand' or other compute operations on virtual machines. This activity could indicate an attacker abusing a compromised Managed Identity to gain access to and control other resources.

This rule detects when a member is added to or removed from highly sensitive administrative groups within Active Directory. It specifically monitors Windows Security Event IDs 4728 (member added) and 4729 (member removed) for a predefined list of critical groups such as 'Administrators', 'Domain Admins', 'Enterprise Admins', and 'Schema Admins'. The rule excludes changes made by computer accounts to reduce false positives.

Detects Okta MFA device enrollment or life cycle changes that occur shortly after a successful authentication or password reset for the same user. This pattern is a strong indicator of a post-vishing account takeover, as seen in ShinyHunters campaigns.

This rule detects sign-in attempts to Azure Active Directory (AAD) service principals where the User-Agent string contains "TruffleHog". TruffleHog is an open-source tool used for finding sensitive data (like credentials) in various data sources. Its presence in AAD sign-in logs, especially for service principals, could indicate an attempt to scan for or verify leaked secrets or credentials associated with service accounts.

This rule detects suspicious resource access patterns in Azure. Specifically, it flags instances where an 'Account' type actor (identified by a username) accesses resources that are not explicitly allowed for security monitoring (SecMon) or security orchestration, automation, and response (SecSoar) purposes. The rule also filters out activities from 'Microsoft-WindowsAzure-Frontdoor' and specific 'Microsoft.Resources' actions to reduce false positives. The primary goal is to identify unauthorized or unusual access to Azure resources by user accounts that fall outside defined security operational scopes.

This rule detects the connection of suspicious USB Network Interface Controllers (NICs) that are commonly associated with Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) implants or other malicious hardware additions. It identifies specific Vendor IDs and Product IDs known to be used in devices like Hak5 LAN Turtle, ASIX AX88179, Realtek USB GbE (often found in Raspberry Pi-based implants), and D-Link USB Ethernet devices that have been observed in modded implants. The rule specifically filters for PnpDeviceConnected events related to network adapters.
