Detects bulk or frequent modifications to firewall policies across various network vendor devices, including Fortinet, Cisco Meraki, WatchGuard, and Sophos. The rule identifies high volumes of policy changes within a 15-minute window or logs summary counts to highlight potentially unauthorized administrative activity.
Detects high-risk operations performed by the Entra ID/AAD Connect synchronization service account (e.g., Sync_* or ADToAADSyncServiceAccount). This account, which often holds broad directory permissions, is a prime target for attackers to gain persistence or escalate privileges within the cloud directory. The rule monitors for unauthorized sign-ins, sensitive configuration changes (such as modifications to federation trust, authentication policies, or directory synchronization settings), and password resets targeting the sync account itself.
Detects high-volume or multi-type destructive operations against cloud backup, snapshot, and recovery infrastructure, including the disabling of immutability policies or soft-delete protections. This activity is consistent with ransomware actors attempting to eliminate recovery options before encrypting data.
Detects unauthorized modifications to Microsoft Entra Conditional Access (CA) policies, including deleting policies, disabling them, removing MFA requirements, or excluding specific users. These actions are common techniques used by adversaries to establish persistence or facilitate unauthorized access by weakening security controls.
Detects high-risk administrative activity on VMware ESXi or vCenter servers that is consistent with pre-ransomware staging, such as disabling lockdown mode, disabling syslog forwarding, mass deletion or modification of virtual machine files (.vmdk/.vmx), or shell command execution related to encryption tool staging.
Detects modifications to Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) that disable security defaults, per-user MFA enforcement, or conditional access policies requiring MFA. Such actions remove tenant-wide MFA protection and are often precursors to account takeover, password spraying, or ransomware attacks.
Detects unauthorized changes to the token-signing certificate for federated domains in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). This behavior is often associated with the Golden SAML attack technique, where an adversary modifies federation settings to forge authentication tokens. The rule filters for events occurring outside of standard business hours and alerts when the modification is not performed by known automation service accounts.
Detects modifications to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) cross-tenant access settings where a new partner is added or inbound trust settings (such as MFA or device compliance) are enabled for an external tenant. This activity may indicate an attempt to establish a persistent backdoor or facilitate initial access into the environment via a compromised or malicious external identity provider.
This rule detects administrative changes to cloud storage configurations (AWS S3, Azure Blob, and GCP Storage) that result in public or anonymous read/write access to buckets or containers, which could lead to unauthorized data exposure.
Detects unauthorized or suspicious modifications to audit and logging configurations across AWS, Azure, and GCP. The rule identifies actions such as stopping, deleting, or updating logging trails, diagnostic settings, or logging sinks, which may indicate an adversary attempting to impair visibility into their activities (Anti-Forensics).
This rule detects the creation or modification of identity federation trust configurations across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure AD, GCP). Attackers often modify trust relationships to establish persistence, forge credentials, or escalate privileges by introducing malicious identity providers (SAML/OIDC) that grant unauthorized access to the environment.
Detects modifications to cloud storage configurations in Azure and GCP that grant public access to containers or blobs. Attackers may leverage this to expose sensitive data stored in cloud environments by changing permissions to be publicly readable.
Detects modifications to SAML identity providers, federation settings, and trust configurations in AWS and Azure AD/Entra where the signing certificate fingerprint does not match a known-good baseline, and no corresponding change ticket is detected in the raw logs.
Detects unauthorized modifications or deletions of cloud logging sinks in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or diagnostic settings in Azure, which may indicate an attacker attempting to disable audit logs to cover their tracks or evade detection.
Detects unauthorized or risky configuration changes in Google Cloud Storage or Azure Storage accounts that grant public access (e.g., allUsers/allAuthenticatedUsers or public blob access) specifically on storage resources identified as production or sensitive (PII/financial data).
Detects modifications to federated domain authentication, identity provider trusts, or federation settings in cloud environments (e.g., Entra ID, Okta). Unauthorized changes to these configurations can be used to establish persistence, enable SAML token forgery, or bypass Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Detects modifications to Windows Registry keys responsible for the legal notice caption and text displayed at logon. Adversaries may abuse Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to set these values to ransom-themed messages, a technique sometimes observed in ransomware campaigns to signal compromise to users.
The following analytic detects modifications to the Access Control List (ACL) of the AdminSDHolder object in a Windows domain, specifically the addition of new rules. It leverages EventCode 5136 from the Security Event Log, focusing on changes to the nTSecurityDescriptor attribute. This activity is significant because the AdminSDHolder object secures privileged group members, and unauthorized changes can allow attackers to establish persistence and escalate privileges. If confirmed malicious, this could enable an attacker to control domain-level permissions, compromising the entire Active Directory environment.
ACL deletion performed on the domain root object, significant AD change with high impact. Following MS guidance all changes at this level should be reviewed. Drill into the logonID within EventCode 4624 for information on the source device during triage.

AD Object Owner Updated. The owner provides Full control level privileges over the target AD Object. This event has significant impact alone and is also a precursor activity for hiding an AD object.
