This rule identifies when an Azure Firewall resource is created, modified, or deleted within an Azure subscription. This activity is captured through Azure Activity Logs, specifically looking for 'MICROSOFT.NETWORK/AZUREFIREWALLS/WRITE' (for creation/modification) and 'MICROSOFT.NETWORK/AZUREFIREWALLS/DELETE' operations. Such changes can indicate legitimate administrative actions or potentially malicious attempts to alter network defenses.

This rule detects activity related to AzureHound, a BloodHound data collector specifically designed for Microsoft Azure environments. It identifies AzureHound's presence by looking for its default 'User-Agent' string in Azure sign-in logs after a successful authentication (ResultType: 0). This indicates that an authenticated user or service principal is using AzureHound to enumerate Azure resources, which is often a precursor to further reconnaissance or privilege escalation within a cloud environment.

0083
Detects the creation or update of Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) certificate templates that are configured with risky Extended Key Usages (EKUs) and allow the enrollee to supply the subject. This combination can be exploited for privilege escalation and credential access, as described in the 'Certified Pre-Owned' whitepaper, by allowing an attacker to request certificates with arbitrary subject names, potentially impersonating privileged accounts.

This rule detects when a user performs an eDiscovery search or exports a PST file from such a search within Microsoft 365. PST files often contain sensitive information, including email body content, making this activity a potential indicator of data exfiltration or unauthorized access to sensitive communications.

Detects read access to a domain user object from a non-machine account, which can indicate user enumeration activity within Active Directory. The rule specifically looks for Event ID 4662 (An operation was performed on an object) where the ObjectType corresponds to a user object and the AccessMask includes read property permissions. It filters out activity from machine accounts and specific Microsoft Online (MSOL) accounts to reduce false positives.

0039
Detects when an end user's consent to an application is blocked by Azure AD due to risk-based consent policies. This indicates that Azure AD has identified a risky application or a risky consent request, preventing the user from granting permissions to it. This can be a proactive measure against consent phishing or malicious applications attempting to gain access to user data.

This rule identifies when an Azure Application Gateway is either modified or deleted. This activity is captured through Azure Activity Logs by monitoring specific operation names related to Application Gateway write (modification) and delete operations. Detection of these events can indicate administrative changes to the network infrastructure, which could be legitimate or potentially malicious if unauthorized.

This rule identifies when an Azure Key Vault is modified or deleted. Key Vaults store sensitive information such as cryptographic keys, certificates, and secrets. Unauthorized modification or deletion of a Key Vault could indicate an attacker attempting to disrupt services, remove evidence, or gain access to sensitive credentials. The rule specifically looks for operations related to writing, deleting, deploying, or modifying access policies of Key Vaults.

This rule identifies when an Azure VPN connection is either modified or deleted. This activity is captured through Azure Activity Logs, specifically looking for 'MICROSOFT.NETWORK/VPNGATEWAYS/VPNCONNECTIONS/WRITE' (modification) or 'MICROSOFT.NETWORK/VPNGATEWAYS/VPNCONNECTIONS/DELETE' (deletion) operations. Such actions can indicate an attempt to disrupt network connectivity or reconfigure access to cloud resources, potentially as part of an impact-oriented attack or unauthorized access.

This rule detects when the master password for an AWS RDS database instance is changed. This activity could be a precursor to data exfiltration or an attempt to gain unauthorized access to the database. The rule specifically looks for the 'ModifyDBInstance' event from 'rds.amazonaws.com' where the 'masterUserPassword' in 'pendingModifiedValues' is present, indicating a password change.

This detection identifies the creation or update of a server instance within an Azure AD Hybrid Health AD FS service using Azure Activity logs. An adversary might perform this action to create a new AD Health ADFS service and a fake server instance to spoof AD FS signing logs, potentially bypassing the need to compromise an on-premises AD FS server. This can be achieved programmatically via HTTP requests to Azure.

This rule detects commands executed on Cisco network devices related to the export of private keys or the import/management of PKI certificates. Specifically, it looks for the commands 'crypto pki export', 'crypto pki import', and 'crypto pki trustpoint'. These actions can indicate an attempt to exfiltrate sensitive cryptographic material (private keys) or to establish new trusted certificates, which could be used for defense evasion or to facilitate man-in-the-middle attacks.
