The following analytic identifies when a new device is enrolled on an Okta account. It uses OktaIm2 logs ingested via the Splunk Add-on for Okta Identity Cloud to detect the creation of new device enrollments. This activity is significant as it may indicate a legitimate user settinging up a new device or an adversary adding a device to maintain unauthorized access. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to potential account takeover, unauthorized access, and persistent control over the compromised Okta account. Monitoring this behavior is crucial for detecting and mitigating unauthorized access attempts.
This correlation rule identifies when a user exceeds a predefined risk threshold based on multiple suspicious Okta activities within a 24-hour period. It aggregates risk events from "Suspicious Okta Activity," "Okta Account Takeover," and "Okta MFA Exhaustion" analytic stories. The detection is significant as it highlights potentially compromised user accounts exhibiting multiple tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). If confirmed malicious, this activity could indicate a serious security breach, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or persist within the environment.
This analytic identifies Snort intrusion signatures that have been triggered by ten or more distinct internal IP addresses within a one-hour window. It leverages Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs and focuses on the IntrusionEvent event type to detect activity that may indicate broad targeting or mass exploitation attempts. This behavior is often associated with opportunistic scanning, worm propagation, or automated exploitation of known vulnerabilities across multiple systems. If confirmed malicious, this could represent the early phase of a coordinated attack aiming to gain a foothold on several hosts or move laterally across the environment.
The following analytic identifies suspicious command-line parameters associated with the use of Impacket's smbexec.py for lateral movement. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on specific command-line patterns indicative of Impacket tool usage. This activity is significant as both Red Teams and adversaries use Impacket for remote code execution and lateral movement. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute commands on remote endpoints, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the network.
The analytic detects the creation of a new API token within an Okta tenant. It uses OktaIm2 logs ingested via the Splunk Add-on for Okta Identity Cloud to identify events where the `system.api_token.create` command is executed. This activity is significant because creating a new API token can indicate potential account takeover attempts or unauthorized access, allowing an adversary to maintain persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could enable attackers to execute API calls, access sensitive data, and perform administrative actions within the Okta environment.
The following analytic identifies excessive AccessDenied events within an hour timeframe for IAM users in AWS. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to detect multiple failed access attempts from the same source IP and user identity. This activity is significant as it may indicate that an access key has been compromised and is being misused for unauthorized discovery actions. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to gather information about the AWS environment, potentially leading to further exploitation or privilege escalation.
This analytic identifies an abnormally high number of cloud instances being destroyed within a 4-hour period. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs and applies a probability density model to detect outliers. This activity is significant for a SOC because a sudden spike in destroyed instances could indicate malicious activity, such as an insider threat or a compromised account attempting to disrupt services. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to significant operational disruptions, data loss, and potential financial impact due to the destruction of critical cloud resources.
The analytic detects an Azure AD account with concurrent sessions originating from multiple unique IP addresses within a 5-minute window. It leverages Azure Active Directory NonInteractiveUserSignInLogs to identify this behavior by analyzing successful authentication events and counting distinct source IPs. This activity is significant as it may indicate session hijacking, where an attacker uses stolen session cookies to access corporate resources from a different location. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information and potential data breaches.
The following analytic detects suspicious database file and directory discovery activities, which may signal an attacker attempt to locate and assess critical database assets on a compromised system. This behavior is often a precursor to data theft, unauthorized access, or privilege escalation, as attackers seek to identify valuable information stored in databases. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized attempts to locate database files and directories, this analytic aids in early detection of potential reconnaissance or data breach efforts, enabling security teams to respond swiftly and mitigate the risk of further compromise.
The analytic detects `spoolsv.exe` writing a `.dll` file, which is unusual behavior and may indicate exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-34527 (PrintNightmare). This detection leverages the Endpoint datamodel, specifically monitoring process and filesystem events to identify `.dll` file creation within the `\spool\drivers\x64\` path. This activity is significant as it may signify an attacker attempting to execute malicious code via the Print Spooler service. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized code execution and potential system compromise. Immediate endpoint isolation and further investigation are recommended.
This analytic detects internal hosts triggering multiple IDS signatures, which may include either more than 25 signatures against a single host or a single signature across over 25 destination IP addresses. Such patterns can indicate active vulnerability scanning activities within the network. By monitoring IDS logs, this detection helps identify and respond to potential vulnerability scanning attempts, enhancing the network's security posture and preventing potential exploits.
The analytic identifies AWS console login attempts by users from a new region. It leverages AWS CloudTrail events and compares current login regions against a baseline of previously seen regions for each user. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access attempts or compromised credentials. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to AWS resources, potentially leading to data breaches, resource manipulation, or further lateral movement within the cloud environment.
This analytic detects file transfers flagged as malware that occurred over non-standard ports (other than 80 and 443) from Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense logs. Adversaries may attempt to bypass protocol-based detection or use alternate ports to blend in with other traffic. This analytic identifies these non-conventional flows and surfaces potential evasion techniques. If confirmed malicious, this indicates potential malware delivery or other nefarious activity.
The analytic detects path traversal command-line execution, often used in malicious documents to execute code via msdt.exe for defense evasion. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) data, focusing on specific patterns in process paths. This activity is significant as it can indicate an attempt to bypass security controls and execute unauthorized code. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to code execution, privilege escalation, or persistence within the environment, potentially allowing attackers to deploy malware or leverage other living-off-the-land binaries (LOLBins).
The following analytic detects `spoolsv.exe` writing a `.dll` file, which is unusual behavior and may indicate exploitation of vulnerabilities like CVE-2021-34527 (PrintNightmare). This detection leverages Sysmon EventID 11 to monitor file creation events in the `\spool\drivers\x64\` directory. This activity is significant because `spoolsv.exe` typically does not write DLL files, and such behavior could signify an ongoing attack. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, or maintain persistence on the compromised system.
The following analytic detects a suspicious registry modification aimed at disabling security audit logs by adding a specific registry entry. It leverages data from the Endpoint.Registry data model, focusing on changes to the "Control\\MiniNt" registry path. This activity is significant because it can prevent Windows from logging any events to the Security Log, effectively blinding security monitoring efforts. If confirmed malicious, this technique could allow an attacker to operate undetected, making it difficult to trace their actions and compromising the integrity of security audits.
The following analytic detects CrowdStrike alerts for weak password policy violations, identifying instances where passwords do not meet the required security standards. These alerts highlight potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers, emphasizing the need for stronger password practices. Addressing these alerts promptly helps to enhance overall security and protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
The following analytic identifies potential AWS S3 exfiltration behavior by correlating multiple risk events related to Collection and Exfiltration techniques. It leverages risk events from AWS sources, focusing on instances where two or more unique analytics and distinct MITRE ATT&CK IDs are triggered for a specific risk object. This activity is significant as it may indicate an ongoing data exfiltration attempt, which is critical for security teams to monitor. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access and theft of sensitive information, compromising the organization's data integrity and confidentiality.
This analytic detects the use of `mavinject.exe` for DLL injection into running processes. It specifically looks for command-line parameters such as `/INJECTRUNNING` and `/HMODULE`. This activity indicates potential arbitrary code execution, a common tactic for malware deployment and persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to execute unauthorized code, escalate privileges, and maintain persistence within the environment, posing a severe security risk.
This analytic detects the execution of AdvancedRun.exe, a utility that allows users to run programs with different administrative privileges, user accounts, or environment settings. It identifies the process by its name or original file name and flags common command-line arguments often used for configuration or specific execution parameters. Monitoring this activity is crucial as AdvancedRun can be leveraged by attackers for remote code execution, privilege escalation, or maintaining persistence within an environment, similar to tools like PsExec. If used maliciously, it could enable the execution of arbitrary commands or configuration-based automation.
The following analytic detects multiple Okta accounts being locked out within a short period. It uses the user.account.lock event from Okta logs, aggregated over a 5-minute window, to identify this behavior. This activity is significant as it may indicate a brute force or password spraying attack, where an adversary attempts to guess passwords, leading to account lockouts. If confirmed malicious, this could result in potential account takeovers or unauthorized access to sensitive Okta accounts, posing a significant security risk.
