The following analytic identifies potential DLL side-loading instances involving unsigned DLLs mimicking Microsoft signatures. It detects this activity by analyzing Sysmon logs for Event Code 7, where both the `Image` and `ImageLoaded` paths do not match system directories like `system32`, `syswow64`, and `programfiles`. This behavior is significant as adversaries often exploit DLL side-loading to execute malicious code via legitimate processes. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to privilege escalation, persistence, and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

This analytic aggregates and summarizes alerts from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. It extracts details such as source, file name, severity, process command line, IP address, registry key, signature, description, and unique ID. The detection is not intended to identify new activity from raw data but rather to leverage existing Microsoft Defender for Endpoint alerts for correlation and risk-based alerting. It filters out alerts with a 'clean' verdict and dynamically maps MITRE techniques and assigns risk scores based on the alert's severity.

This analytic employs the 3-sigma approach to detect an unusual volume of failed authentication attempts from a single source. A password spray attack is a type of brute force attack where an attacker tries a few common passwords across many different accounts to avoid detection and account lockouts. By utilizing the Authentication Data Model, this detection is effective for all CIM-mapped authentication events, providing comprehensive coverage and enhancing security against these attacks.

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 the creation or modification of email inbox rules within an Office 365 environment. It specifically looks for `New-InboxRule` and `Set-InboxRule` operations in the O365 management activity logs where the rule parameters indicate actions such as mail forwarding (`ForwardTo`, `ForwardAsAttachmentTo`, `RedirectTo`), or mail manipulation like deletion (`SoftDeleteMessage`, `DeleteMessage`) or moving to specific folders (`MoveToFolder`, `CopyToFolder`). While legitimate users create inbox rules, adversaries often leverage these techniques to exfiltrate emails, maintain persistence, or hide their activities by deleting or moving security alerts.

The analytic detects the registration of a new Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method for an Azure AD account. It leverages Azure AD AuditLogs to identify when a user registers new security information. This activity is significant because adversaries who gain unauthorized access to an account may add their own MFA method to maintain persistence. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to bypass existing security controls, maintain long-term access, and potentially escalate their privileges within the environment.
