This rule detects suspicious access attempts to the registry key associated with the Azure AD Health monitoring agent. It specifically looks for Event IDs 4656 (handle to an object was requested) or 4663 (an attempt was made to access an object) on the registry key '\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Online\Reporting\MonitoringAgent'. The rule filters out access attempts made by legitimate Azure AD Health monitoring agent processes to reduce false positives. This detection requires specific SACL auditing to be configured on the registry key.

This detection identifies suspicious access attempts to registry keys and sub-keys associated with Azure AD Health service agents, such as AD FS. Gaining access to this information could enable an adversary to abuse features provided by these cloud services, particularly federation. The rule requires specific System Access Control List (SACL) auditing to be configured on 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ADHealthAgent' with propagation to sub-keys.

This detection uses Windows security events to detect suspicious access attempts to the registry key values and sub-keys of Azure AD Health service agents (e.g AD FS).
Information from AD Health service agents can be used to potentially abuse some of the features provided by those services in the cloud (e.g. Federation).
This detection requires an access control entry (ACE) on the system access control list (SACL) of the following securable object: HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ADHealthAgent.
Make sure you set the SACL to propagate to its sub-keys.
