The analytic identifies suspicious Java classes often used for remote command execution exploits in Java frameworks like Apache Struts. It detects this activity by analyzing HTTP POST requests with specific content patterns. This behavior is significant because it may indicate an attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications, potentially leading to unauthorized remote code execution. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the server, leading to data breaches, system compromise, and further network infiltration.
This analytic detects an abnormally high number of cloud instances launched within a 4-hour period. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs and applies a probability density model to identify outliers based on historical data. This activity is significant for a SOC because a sudden spike in instance creation could indicate unauthorized access or misuse of cloud resources. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to resource exhaustion, increased costs, or provide attackers with additional compute resources to further their objectives.
The following analytic detects `PutBucketLifecycle` events in AWS CloudTrail logs where a user sets a lifecycle rule for an S3 bucket with an expiration period of fewer than three days. This detection leverages CloudTrail logs to identify suspicious lifecycle configurations. This activity is significant because attackers may use it to delete CloudTrail logs quickly, thereby evading detection and impairing forensic investigations. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to cover their tracks, making it difficult to trace their actions and respond to the breach effectively.
The following analytic identifies when a policy is deleted in AWS. It leverages Amazon Security Lake logs to detect the DeletePolicy API operation. Monitoring policy deletions is crucial as it can indicate unauthorized attempts to weaken security controls. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow an attacker to remove critical security policies, potentially leading to privilege escalation or unauthorized access to sensitive resources.
The following analytic detects the invitation of an external guest user within Azure AD. It leverages Azure AD AuditLogs to identify events where an external user is invited, using fields such as operationName and initiatedBy. Monitoring these invitations is crucial as they can lead to unauthorized access if abused. If confirmed malicious, this activity could allow attackers to gain access to internal resources, potentially leading to data breaches or further exploitation of the environment.
The analytic detects a single source IP failing to authenticate with 30 unique valid users within 5 minutes in Azure Active Directory. It leverages Azure AD SignInLogs with error code 50126, indicating invalid passwords. This behavior is significant as it may indicate a Password Spraying attack, where an adversary attempts to gain initial access or elevate privileges by trying common passwords across many accounts. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or privilege escalation within the Azure AD environment.
The following analytic identifies unusual modifications to security groups in your cloud environment by users, focusing on actions such as modifications, deletions, or creations over 30-minute intervals. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs and calculates the standard deviation for each user, using the 3-sigma rule to detect anomalies. This activity is significant as it may indicate a compromised account or insider threat. If confirmed malicious, attackers could alter security group configurations, potentially exposing sensitive resources or disrupting services.
The following analytic detects cloud provisioning activities originating from previously unseen countries. It leverages cloud infrastructure logs and compares the geographic location of the source IP address against a baseline of known locations. This activity is significant as it may indicate unauthorized access or potential compromise of cloud resources. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain control over cloud assets, leading to data breaches, service disruptions, or further infiltration into the network.
The analytic identifies successful access to an S3 bucket from a new or previously unseen remote IP address. This activity is significant because access from unfamiliar IP addresses could indicate unauthorized access or potential data exfiltration attempts. If confirmed malicious, this activity could lead to unauthorized data access, data theft, or further exploitation of the compromised S3 bucket, posing a significant risk to sensitive information stored within the bucket.
The following analytic detects the addition of new service principal accounts in O365 tenants. It leverages data from the `o365_management_activity` dataset, specifically monitoring for operations related to adding or creating service principals. This activity is significant because attackers can exploit service principals to gain unauthorized access and perform malicious actions within an organization's environment. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to interact with APIs, access resources, and execute operations on behalf of the organization, potentially leading to data breaches or further compromise.
