This rule detects activities performed by the AWS root account. The root account has unrestricted access to all resources in an AWS account, making its usage a critical security event that often indicates a potential compromise, misconfiguration, or a highly privileged operation that should be closely monitored. The rule specifically looks for events where the 'userIdentity.type' is 'Root' and excludes 'AwsServiceEvent' to filter out automated AWS service activities that might legitimately use root permissions internally.

This rule detects when a user successfully elevates their permissions to manage all Azure Subscriptions. This action grants broad access across the Azure environment and should be immediately investigated if it is not a planned administrative activity. Such an elevation could be leveraged by an attacker to gain extensive control over Azure resources.

Detects successful AWS console logins that were performed without Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This alert can be used to identify potential unauthorized access attempts, as logging in without MFA can indicate compromised credentials or misconfigured security settings.

This rule detects when user accounts are created or deleted in Azure Active Directory by users who are not on an approved list. It specifically looks for 'Add user' or 'Delete user' messages in the audit logs with a 'Success' status, and then filters out actions initiated by known, approved administrators.

This rule detects the use of legacy authentication protocols for sign-ins to Azure AD. Legacy authentication protocols (such as POP3, IMAP, SMTP, MAPI, Exchange ActiveSync, Exchange Web Services, and 'Other client') do not support modern security features like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and are often targeted by attackers for credential stuffing, brute-force attacks, and other credential-based attacks. Detecting and alerting on these sign-ins helps identify potential compromise or policy violations.

Detects when a temporary access pass (TAP) is added to an account in Azure AD. TAPs are a passwordless authentication method that can be used for onboarding, recovery, or as a strong credential. The addition of a TAP, especially to privileged accounts, should be investigated as it could indicate an attempt to gain or maintain unauthorized access.

Detects successful sign-ins by privileged role accounts that occur outside of normal business hours or from unusual geographic locations. This rule is designed to flag potentially suspicious activity that could indicate compromised credentials or insider threat activity, especially for administrative accounts.

This rule detects when a user's account type is changed from 'Guest' to 'Member' within Azure Active Directory. This change signifies an elevation of privileges for the user, as 'Member' accounts typically have broader access and capabilities compared to 'Guest' accounts. Such a modification could be an indicator of an adversary attempting to gain higher privileges or establish persistence within the cloud environment.

Detects when a Privileged Identity Management (PIM) elevation request is approved or denied within Azure AD. This rule helps monitor critical administrative actions related to privilege escalation. Any approvals or denials outside of expected administrative operations should be investigated as they could indicate unauthorized privilege management or attempts to bypass security controls.

0036
This rule detects instances where a user denies a multi-factor authentication (MFA) prompt. This could indicate that an attacker has successfully obtained the user's password and is attempting to gain unauthorized access, prompting the legitimate user for MFA approval. The user's denial signals that they did not initiate the login attempt.

Monitors for successful device registration or join events in Azure AD where Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was not performed. This could indicate an adversary bypassing MFA to gain persistent access or escalate privileges by registering a new device.

Detects the deletion of an AWS SAML provider, which could indicate an attacker attempting to disrupt administrative or security team access. By removing the SAML provider, an adversary can hinder the ability of security personnel or system administrators to investigate and respond during an attack.

Detects when users successfully authenticate to Azure AD using only single-factor authentication, indicating that MFA was not required or was bypassed. This could be due to misconfiguration, an attacker bypassing MFA, or legitimate exceptions.

Detects the S3 Browser utility performing reconnaissance by checking for existing AWS IAM Users without a LoginProfile defined, and subsequently creating a LoginProfile if one is not found. This behavior has been associated with the Guivil threat actor.

This rule detects sign-in attempts to Azure Active Directory from devices that are marked as non-compliant. Non-compliant devices typically lack required security configurations, updates, or policies, and their use for authentication can indicate a potential security risk, such as a compromised device or an attempt to bypass security controls.
