Detects S3 bucket lifecycle policies configured for automatic object deletion
This rule detects suspicious activities related to AWS S3 buckets that could indicate a bucket hijacking attempt or unauthorized replication to an external account. Specifically, it looks for two scenarios: 1) an S3 bucket being deleted and then recreated by a different AWS account within a one-hour window, suggesting a namespace hijacking, or 2) an S3 bucket being deleted while a PutBucketReplication event references an external AWS account, indicating an attempt to exfiltrate data or maintain access through replication.
Detects the execution of S3 Browser or Office installation executables, followed by network traffic from the same host to known cloud storage or file-sharing sites within a short time window. This behavior aligns with Muddled Libra's method of staging and exfiltrating sensitive data, such as PST files, to adversary-controlled cloud buckets.
Detects rapid high-volume file and messaging operations across multiple Microsoft 365 services (SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Exchange) within a compressed 10-minute window. This behavior can indicate data exfiltration or collection by an adversary.
Detects enumeration of cloud storage objects for data discovery
Detects high volume Google Cloud Storage (GCS) object listing and downloads, which can indicate reconnaissance of cloud storage contents or data exfiltration. The rule correlates multiple 'storage.objects.list' and 'storage.objects.get' operations within a one-hour window from the same identity, bucket, and project, flagging activity exceeding 50 operations.
This rule detects suspicious activities related to AWS S3 buckets that could indicate a bucket hijacking attempt or unauthorized replication to an external account. Specifically, it looks for two scenarios: 1) an S3 bucket being deleted and then recreated by a different AWS account within a one-hour window, suggesting a namespace hijacking, or 2) an S3 bucket being deleted while a PutBucketReplication event references an external AWS account, indicating an attempt to exfiltrate data or maintain access through replication.
Detects one-way C2 communication via data drops to cloud storage services
Box SaaS Suspicious File Download
Cortex XDR
Detects file downloads from Box which could indicate potential data exfiltration by insiders or compromised accounts. This rule specifically looks for 'DOWNLOAD' operations within Box SaaS audit logs.
Azure Blob SAS Access
Cortex XDR
Detects access to Azure Blob Storage using Shared Access Signature (SAS) authentication. This rule specifically looks for successful blob operations where the authentication type is SAS and the identity name matches 'key1' or 'key2', which are often associated with storage account access keys used to generate SAS tokens. Monitoring such access can help identify unauthorized or suspicious use of SAS tokens.
This rule detects instances where Microsoft Copilot accesses external resources, specifically identifying events where 'XPIADetected' is true. This indicates Copilot interacting with resources outside its immediate environment, which could be a security concern if the accessed resources are sensitive or untrusted.
This rule detects suspicious enumeration of Azure Blob, File, Table, Queue, or DFS storage accounts by internal users. It identifies devices making network connections to public Azure storage URLs using potentially suspicious processes (e.g., PowerShell, Python, AzCopy, curl, wget, WinSCP, FileZilla, Storage Explorer). The rule then analyzes the distinct storage accounts accessed and uses a Jaccard index to identify unusual naming conventions among the accessed storage accounts, potentially indicating an insider attempting to discover or exfiltrate data from unfamiliar storage resources.
This rule detects the download of Android Application Package (APK) files from Amazon S3 buckets, where the HTTP URI contains keywords related to gambling (slot, bet, play, jackpot). This activity is indicative of potential malware distribution, specifically targeting Android devices with gambling-themed applications, as observed in Indonesian gambling ecosystems.
Detects the deletion of S3 buckets in AWS CloudTrail logs. Monitoring the deletion of S3 buckets is critical for security and data integrity, as it may indicate potential data loss or unauthorized access attempts.
Detects a single S3 object download event where the volume of data transferred exceeds a defined threshold. This can be an indicator of bulk data exfiltration. Attackers may download large archives or databases from compromised S3 buckets.

The following analytic identifies access to GCP Storage buckets from new or previously unseen remote IP addresses. It leverages GCP Storage bucket-access logs ingested via Cloud Pub/Sub and compares current access events against a lookup table of previously seen IP addresses. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access or potential reconnaissance by an attacker. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to data exfiltration, unauthorized data manipulation, or further compromise of the GCP environment.
The analytic identifies users with KMS keys performing encryption operations on S3 buckets. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to detect the `CopyObject` event where server-side encryption with AWS KMS is specified. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized or suspicious encryption of data, potentially masking exfiltration or tampering efforts. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could be encrypting sensitive data to evade detection or preparing it for exfiltration, posing a significant risk to data integrity and confidentiality.
