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 user certificate was issued with a mismatch A certificate was issued to a user who was not the requester, this may indicate a certificate manipulation. Informational Identity Analytics Windows Event Collector, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Persistence, Privilege Escalation, Credential Access
