The analytic identifies medium-severity findings from AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) image scans. It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs, specifically the DescribeImageScanFindings event, to detect vulnerabilities in container images. This activity is significant for a SOC as it highlights potential security risks in containerized applications, which could be exploited if not addressed. If confirmed malicious, these vulnerabilities could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or further exploitation within the container environment, compromising the overall security posture.

The following analytic detects the deletion of AWS Network Access Control Lists (ACLs). It leverages AWS CloudTrail logs to identify events where a user deletes a network ACL entry. This activity is significant because deleting a network ACL can remove critical access restrictions, potentially allowing unauthorized access to cloud instances. If confirmed malicious, this action could enable attackers to bypass network security controls, leading to unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or further compromise of the cloud environment.

The analytic identifies suspicious file-sharing activity on Google Drive, where internal users share documents with more than 50 external recipients. It leverages GSuite Drive logs, focusing on changes in user access and filtering for emails outside the organization's domain. This activity is significant as it may indicate compromised accounts or intentional data exfiltration. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, data leaks, and potential compliance violations.

The following analytic identifies when an IP allow list is disabled in GitHub Enterprise. The detection monitors GitHub Enterprise audit logs for actions related to disabling IP allow lists at the organization or enterprise level. This behavior is concerning because IP allow lists are a critical security control that restricts access to GitHub Enterprise resources to only trusted IP addresses. When disabled, it could indicate an attacker attempting to bypass access controls to gain unauthorized access from untrusted networks. The impact includes potential exposure of sensitive code repositories and GitHub Enterprise resources to access from any IP address. SOC teams should investigate such events, especially if they were not pre-approved changes, as they may indicate compromise of admin credentials or malicious insider activity.

The following analytic identifies an O365 account experiencing more than 10 failed authentication attempts within 5 minutes. It uses O365 Unified Audit Logs, specifically "UserLoginFailed" events, to monitor and flag accounts exceeding this threshold. This activity is significant as it may indicate a brute force attack or password guessing attempt. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to the O365 environment, potentially compromising sensitive emails, documents, and other data. Prompt investigation and action are crucial to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.

The analytic detects a registry modification that disables Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for the .NET Framework. This is achieved by setting the 'ETWEnabled' registry value to '0x00000000' under the '.NETFramework' path. Disabling ETW can be used by attackers to evade Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools and hide their activities from audit logs, potentially leading to undetected compromise and persistent access.

The analytic detects the execution of `powershell.exe` running the `Get-ADUserResultantPasswordPolicy` cmdlet, which is used to obtain the password policy in a Windows domain. This activity indicates potential enumeration of domain policies, a common tactic for situational awareness and Active Directory discovery by adversaries. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to understand password policies, aiding in further attacks such as password spraying or brute force attempts.

The following analytic detects the execution of `powershell.exe` running the `Get-DomainPolicy` cmdlet, which is used to retrieve password policies in a Windows domain. This activity is significant as it indicates potential reconnaissance efforts by adversaries to gather domain policy information, which is crucial for planning further attacks. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive domain configurations, aiding in privilege escalation and lateral movement within the network.

The analytic detects the use of the `Get-WMIObject Win32_Group` command executed via PowerShell or cmd.exe to enumerate local groups on an endpoint. This activity is often a precursor to privilege escalation or lateral movement, as attackers map out group memberships to identify potential exploitation paths or unauthorized access to sensitive resources.

The analytic detects the execution of `powershell.exe` with command-line arguments invoking the `GetCurrent` method of the WindowsIdentity .NET class. This activity is significant as adversaries may use this method to identify the logged-in user on a compromised endpoint, aiding in situational awareness and Active Directory discovery. If confirmed malicious, this could allow attackers to gain insights into user context, potentially facilitating further exploitation and lateral movement within the network.
