Possible External RDP Brute-Force - Set Verdict

This playbook creating an array called "Suspicious Elements", which is used to count potential security threats. The following elements can be added to the array: - "IP Reputation" - DBot Score is 2-3 - "Source geolocation" - RDP Connection made from rare geo-location - Related to campaign - IP address is related to campaign, based on TIM module - Hunting results - the hunt for indicators related to the source IP and the related campaign returned results - XDR Alert search - XDR Alerts that related to the same username and endpoint, and to the MITRE tactics that comes after "Credential Access", were found. - Risky User - one or more risky users are involved in the incident, as identified by the Cortex Core - IR integration's ITDR module. - Risky Host - one or more risky hosts are involved in the incident, as identified by the Cortex Core - IR integration's ITDR module. The array will then be outputted and its size will be compared to a final threshold. If the size is greater than or equal to the threshold, the investigation's final verdict will be deemed a "True Positive."
