This rule detects when a user is added to a group that has permissions to modify Conditional Access (CA) policies within Azure Active Directory. Such an action could indicate an attempt to escalate privileges, bypass existing security controls, or establish persistence by altering authentication processes.

Detects the configuration of a new ISATAP router on a Windows host. While ISATAP is a legitimate Microsoft technology for IPv6 transition, unexpected or unauthorized ISATAP router configurations could indicate a potential IPv6 DNS Takeover attack using tools like mitm6. In such attacks, adversaries advertise themselves as DHCPv6 servers and set malicious ISATAP routers to intercept traffic. This detection should be correlated with network baselines and known legitimate ISATAP deployments in your environment.

This rule detects the creation of a new trust relationship to a domain, indicated by Windows Event ID 4706. The addition of domain trusts is an infrequent administrative action and should be carefully verified for legitimacy, as unauthorized trust relationships could be used for privilege escalation or persistence within an Active Directory environment.

This rule identifies an event where the number of accounts assigned the Global Administrator role in Azure Active Directory (now Microsoft Entra ID) exceeds a predefined threshold. This is detected by monitoring the 'tooManyGlobalAdminsAssignedToTenantAlertIncident' risk event type from Azure PIM (Privileged Identity Management). A high number of Global Administrators can increase the attack surface and risk of privilege abuse or compromise.

This analytic detects the use of PowerShell commands to add or set exclusions in Windows Defender. It specifically looks for command-line executions containing "Add-MpPreference" or "Set-MpPreference" along with exclusion parameters such as "-Exclusion*", "-ControlledFolderAccessAllowedApplications*", or "-AttackSurfaceReductionOnlyExclusions*". Adversaries commonly use this technique to bypass Windows Defender's protections, allowing malicious code to execute undetected, maintain persistence, and perform further malicious activities without interference from the antivirus.

Detect when a user creates a new Discretionary Access Control List (DACL) in Active Directory for their own AD object. This can be an indicator of an adversary attempting to maintain persistence or escalate privileges by modifying permissions on their own account to grant themselves additional rights or to prevent other users from modifying their account.
