Detects when a user authenticates via device code flow or performs device registration/ownership addition, followed by a bulk download of SharePoint or OneDrive files (25 or more distinct files) within a 60-minute window. This behavior can indicate session hijacking or unauthorized access where an attacker uses device code phishing to gain access and quickly exfiltrate cloud documents.

Detects high-volume Microsoft Graph API activity using attacker-associated user agents, such as python-requests, curl, or httpx, which may indicate automated token sweeping or data collection associated with supply-chain attacks.

This detection uses azureactivity logs (Administrative category) to identify the deletion of an Azure AD Hybrid health AD FS service instance in a tenant.
A threat actor can create a new AD Health ADFS service and create a fake server to spoof AD FS signing logs.
The health AD FS service can then be deleted after it is not longer needed via HTTP requests to Azure.

Detects suspicious command execution activities using Azure RunCommand, Custom Script Extension, or Azure Connected Machine Agent combined with potentially malicious command arguments or tools such as PowerShell encoded commands, 'IEX', download strings, certutil, whoami, base64, curl, or wget.

Detects a potential app-only tenant-takeover sequence associated with Storm-3119 (YAM Store), where a single service principal performs an administrative password reset, a license assignment, and a privileged role grant within a one-hour window.

507
Detects a single application or service principal performing a password reset, a license assignment, and a privileged role grant within a one-hour window. This sequence matches Storm-3119 admin-panel abuse of a compromised tenant client secret through an app-only flow in Microsoft 365 or Entra ID.

This detection uses azureactivity logs (Administrative category) to identify the creation or update of a server instance in an Azure AD Hybrid health AD FS service.
A threat actor can create a new AD Health ADFS service and create a fake server instance to spoof AD FS signing logs. There is no need to compromise an on-prem AD FS server.
This can be done programmatically via HTTP requests to Azure.

This rule monitors for the addition of new credentials (secrets) to service principals or applications in an Azure/Entra ID environment. It then correlates this event with subsequent mailbox activity (such as accessing mail items, sending mail, or message binding) performed by the application within 7 days of the credential creation. This detection pattern is indicative of potential OAuth application-based persistence and mailbox data exfiltration.

5018
Detects high-risk operations performed by the Entra ID/AAD Connect synchronization service account (e.g., Sync_* or ADToAADSyncServiceAccount). This account, which often holds broad directory permissions, is a prime target for attackers to gain persistence or escalate privileges within the cloud directory. The rule monitors for unauthorized sign-ins, sensitive configuration changes (such as modifications to federation trust, authentication policies, or directory synchronization settings), and password resets targeting the sync account itself.

8017
Detects high-volume retrieval of secrets by a single principal within a one-hour window across AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud Secret Manager. This behavior is indicative of bulk credential harvesting or automated sensitive data exfiltration following unauthorized access or privilege escalation in cloud environments.

4013
This rule detects potential privilege escalation in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) by identifying the attachment or update of overly permissive policies (e.g., wildcard permissions or administrative roles) followed by rapid execution of high-privilege actions (like creating new users, keys, or profiles) by the same actor within 15 minutes.

1012
Detects instances where a user account registers or modifies MFA authentication methods (such as phone numbers or apps) for a different user account. This behavior is indicative of an attacker with administrative privileges attempting to establish persistence on a target account by adding their own MFA device.

7012
Detects modifications to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) authentication methods policy where a new external authentication method is configured using a non-approved discovery URL. This could indicate an adversary attempting to configure a malicious identity provider to facilitate authentication bypass or unauthorized access.

6017
Detects instances where an identity associated with AI or automated agents (service accounts, service principals, bots, or assistants) is assigned to highly privileged administrative roles or security groups in the directory. This behavior potentially indicates an attempt to escalate privileges using a compromised or improperly configured agent identity.

5010
Detects changes to Entra ID Conditional Access policies that degrade security posture. This includes deleting a policy, disabling an enabled policy, removing grant controls (like MFA requirements), expanding trusted location/IP ranges, or adding user/group/role exclusions. Such activities are indicative of an attacker attempting to weaken authentication and security enforcement to maintain persistent access or facilitate further lateral movement.

1007
Detects unauthorized attempts to disable, suspend, or downgrade critical native cloud security and monitoring services (e.g., AWS GuardDuty, AWS Security Hub, Azure Defender for Cloud, and GCP Security Command Center). Attackers often perform these actions to evade detection of subsequent malicious activity within the cloud environment.

1207
Detects modifications to Azure DevOps pipelines or service connections that include indicators of outbound tunneling or reverse proxy tools (e.g., ngrok, socat, chisel, or SSH reverse tunnels). This behavior is characteristic of an attacker attempting to establish a command-and-control channel or bypass firewall restrictions by tunneling traffic out of the CI/CD pipeline execution environment.

206
Detects modifications to domain federation settings in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) where a domain is converted from a managed authentication state to a federated authentication state. This type of configuration change is often used by adversaries to establish persistence or facilitate domain-level identity deception.

006
Detects modifications to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) authentication policies, specifically the registration, enablement, or modification of External Authentication Methods (EAMs). This activity can indicate an attempt to add a rogue authentication provider for persistent unauthorized access, bypassing standard MFA or conditional access policies.
