Detectors
Every Cortex detection rule the toolbox knows about — analytics alerts, BIOCs and correlation rules — in one filterable set.

Download CSV| Type | Name | Severity | Module | Data source / event | ATT&CK |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Abnormal Allocation of compute resources in multiple regions An identity allocated an unusual compute resource pool, suspected as mining activity. | Informational | Cortex Cloud | AWS Audit Log, Gcp Audit Log | Impact, Initial Access |
| Analytics | Allocation of multiple cloud compute resources An identity allocated multiple compute resources. | Informational | Cortex Cloud | AWS Audit Log, Azure Audit Log, Gcp Audit Log | Impact, Initial Access |
| Analytics | An internal Cloud resource performed port scan on external networks An internal cloud resource attempted to connect to the same destination port of multiple external IP addresses. This may be a result of the cloud resource being hijacked by an attacker. Attackers perform port scans on a specific destination port for reconnaissance purposes, to detect known vulnerable services that accept connections in the specific port, and perform targeted attacks against them. | Medium | Cortex Cloud | XDR Agent | Discovery, Impact |
| Analytics | Potential denial of wallet abusing AI services An ML model experienced a sudden spike in requests in a short time. MITRE ATLAS Techniques: AML.T0029 - Denial of ML Service, AML.T0034 - Cost Harvesting. OWASP Top 10 LLM Technique: LLM10 - Unbounded Consumption. | Low | Cortex Cloud | AWS Audit Log, Azure Audit Log, Gcp Audit Log | Impact |
| Analytics | Spam Bot Traffic The endpoint connected to an excessive number of external SMTP servers. A spambot may be trying to send spam email using multiple SMTP servers. Spambots can cause your domain to be blacklisted, and can contain other malicious functionality. The same mechanism can also be used for exfiltration. Some VPN clients can also tunnel data over SMTP. Note: This detection model looks for SMTP connections to external servers, but the volume of traffic is not considered. A count is performed based on the number of domains being contacted, as well as the number of unresolved IP addresses. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent, Third-Party Firewalls | Impact |
