Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics BIOC | A computer account was promoted to DC A computer account was promoted to a domain controller via a User Account Control (UAC) change. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | A disabled user attempted to log in to a VPN A disabled user attempted to log in suspiciously to a VPN. | Low | Identity Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Global Protect, Third-Party VPNs | Initial Access |
| Analytics | Account probing A user failed to log in to multiple hosts it never accessed before in a short amount of time. This may indicate the account is compromised and an attacker is probing for a host it can access with those credentials. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent | Initial Access, Credential Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Authentication attempt by a honey user An authentication attempt was made by a honey user, a decoy account created to detect unauthorized access. This may indicate potential attacker activity attempting to use valid or stolen credentials. | Low | Identity Analytics | AzureAD, Okta, OneLogin, PingOne | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Interactive login by a service account A service account performed an interactive or remote interactive login. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Login attempt by a honey user A login attempt was made by a honey user, a decoy account created to detect unauthorized access. This may indicate potential attacker activity attempting to use valid or stolen credentials. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Masquerading as a default local account A user created a new local account with the name of a default local account, such as Guest and DefaultAccount. An attacker may create a user with these known names to evade detection. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion, Persistence |
| Analytics | New Shared User Account A user account has been seen active on multiple hosts. Shared accounts are often considered 'bad practice' and may present multiple security risks to the organization. | Low | Identity Analytics | XDR Agent | Initial Access |
| Analytics | Short-lived user account A user was created and deleted within a short period of time. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | SPNs cleared from a machine account Service principal names were cleared from a machine account. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | SSO authentication attempt by a honey user An SSO authentication attempt was made by a honey user, a decoy account created specifically to detect unauthorized access. This may indicate potential attacker activity. | Low | Identity Analytics | AzureAD, Okta, OneLogin, PingOne | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | SSO authentication by a machine account A machine account successfully authenticated via SSO. | Low | Identity Analytics | AzureAD, Azure SignIn Log, Idira, Duo, Okta, OneLogin, PingOne | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | SSO authentication by a service account A service account successfully authenticated via SSO. | Low | Identity Analytics | AzureAD, Azure SignIn Log, Idira, Duo, Okta, OneLogin, PingOne | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious account attribute modification that matches that of another account Suspicious account attribute modification that matches that of another account. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious sAMAccountName change The name of a machine account was changed to a sAMAccountName with a missing trailing dollar sign. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Privilege Escalation, Persistence |
| Analytics | User added to the SMS Admins local group A user was added to the SMS Admins local group. This may indicate a potential attack targeting the Microsoft Configuration Manager infrastructure. | Low | Identity Analytics | Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Persistence, Privilege Escalation |
| Analytics BIOC | VPN login attempt by a honey user A VPN login attempt was made by a honey user, a decoy account created specifically to detect unauthorized access. This may indicate potential attacker activity. | Low | Identity Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Global Protect, Third-Party VPNs | Initial Access |
| Analytics BIOC | VPN login by a service account A service account attempted to log in to a VPN service. | Low | Identity Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Global Protect, Third-Party VPNs | Initial Access |
