Type Name Severity Module Data source / event ATT&CK
Analytics Abnormal RDP connections to multiple hosts The endpoint attempted to initiate rare RDP connections to multiple hosts. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Lateral Movement
Analytics Abnormal RDP connections to multiple hosts from a rarely seen host The endpoint attempted to initiate rare RDP connections to multiple hosts. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Abnormal RDP session to a remote host from a rarely seen host The endpoint performed a rare RDP session to a remote host. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls Lateral Movement
Analytics Abnormal sensitive RPC traffic to multiple hosts The endpoint performed unfamiliar RPC activity to multiple hosts using a known sensitive interface. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Lateral Movement
Analytics Abnormal sensitive RPC traffic to multiple hosts from a rarely seen host The endpoint performed unfamiliar RPC activity to multiple hosts using a known sensitive interface. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Lateral Movement
Analytics Abnormal SMB activity to multiple hosts An endpoint performed a new, unfamiliar SMB activity to multiple hosts on the network. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Lateral Movement
Analytics New Administrative Behavior The endpoint performed new administrative actions, relative to its previously profiled behavior. It is possible that an endpoint will infrequently be used for administrative activities, so analytics is performed using logs collected over a long period of time, also comparing the activity to that of other endpoints. That is, if many endpoints are contacting the same destination with the same administrative activity, then this network activity is less likely to result in this alert. An attacker may be operating on the host, probing other computers and moving laterally inside the network using a trusted computer and credentials. Attackers typically exhibit administrative behaviors when performing reconnaissance and lateral movement. Medium Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Rare DCOM RPC activity The endpoint performed abnormal DCOM RPC activity to a remote host. Informational Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Rare file transfer over SMB protocol The endpoint performed an abnormal file transfer over SMB to a remote host. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Rare RDP session to a remote host The endpoint performed a rare RDP session to a remote host. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Rare Remote Service (SVCCTL) RPC activity The endpoint performed abnormal RPC activity via Service Control Manager interface to a remote host. Informational Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Rare Scheduled Task RPC activity The endpoint performed abnormal Scheduled Task RPC activity to a remote host. Informational Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Lateral Movement, Persistence
Analytics BIOC Rare Scheduled Task RPC activity from a rarely seen host The endpoint performed abnormal Scheduled Task RPC activity to a remote host. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) Lateral Movement, Persistence
Analytics BIOC Rare SMB session to a remote host The endpoint performed a rare SMB activity to a remote host. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Rare Windows Remote Management (WinRM) HTTP Activity The endpoint performed unfamiliar WinRM HTTP activity to a remote host. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs, XDR Agent Lateral Movement
Analytics BIOC Suspicious SSH Downgrade The endpoint asked for an ssh downgrade, ssh downgrade may enable attackers to perform attacks such as data decryption, man in the middle, session hijack, replay attack and more. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall EAL Logs Lateral Movement, Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC Uncommon SSH session was established An uncommon SSH session was established. Low Platform Analytics Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls Command and Control
