Detection engineering

Correlation rules evaluated against the event stream. Disabling a rule stops it raising alerts but preserves the alerts it has already produced.

Rule library

19 of 19 rules shown

ArmedRuleSeverityCategoryATT&CKAlerts
Bulk data egress

A transfer far larger than the baseline for the host, to a destination not previously seen. The shape of exfiltration rather than backup.

CriticalExfiltration
T1048Exfiltration
2
Credential store access

Direct access to a credential store or secrets material, outside the normal path applications use to retrieve them.

CriticalCredential Access
T1555Credential Access
0
Impossible travel

The same account authenticating from two countries closer together in time than travel between them would allow. Strong evidence that a credential is being used by someone other than its owner.

CriticalCredential Access
T1078.004Initial Access
1
MFA method removed

An authenticator unenrolled from an account. Frequently the first action after a takeover, to keep access once the password is reset.

CriticalPersistence
T1556.006Persistence
0
Privileged account created

A new account added directly to an administrative group. Legitimate provisioning goes through change control, so this warrants immediate confirmation.

CriticalPrivilege Escalation
T1098Privilege Escalation
0
Authentication failure burst followed by success

A run of failed authentications for one account followed shortly by a success. The classic signature of a guessing attack that eventually landed.

HighCredential Access
T1110.001Credential Access
0
Bulk containment by a single operator

Several destructive automations executed by one operator in a short window. Legitimate during a live incident, worth a second pair of eyes at any other time.

HighPlatform
T1531Impact
0
Cloud access key created outside change hours

A long-lived cloud credential minted outside the working window. Key creation is a normal action at an abnormal time.

HighPersistence
T1098.001Persistence
1
Detection coverage reduced from the console

A detection rule was disarmed or a suppression created. Both narrow what the platform reports, and an intruder who reaches the console will reach for exactly these controls before doing anything noisier.

HighPlatform
T1562.001Defense Evasion
0
Encoded PowerShell execution

PowerShell invoked with a base64-encoded command block, a common wrapper for staged payloads that defeats plaintext command inspection.

HighExecution
T1059.001Execution
1
Mass file access

One principal reading far more files in a short window than normal use produces, consistent with staging data for collection.

HighCollection
T1005Collection
1
Office application spawning a script interpreter

A document application starting a shell or scripting host. Word does not legitimately need to launch PowerShell, so this is near-always macro execution.

HighExecution
T1204.002Execution
1
Password spray against directory services

One source address failing authentication repeatedly inside a short window, consistent with spraying a common password across many accounts.

HighCredential Access
T1110.003Credential Access
1
Persistence mechanism created

A scheduled task, service or run key established on a host, giving an intruder a way back after reboot.

HighPersistence
T1053.005Persistence
0
Threat intelligence match

An indicator from a threat intelligence feed observed in telemetry. Matching runs over the whole window each sweep, so intel added today surfaces activity already stored.

HighThreat Intelligence
T1071Command and Control
0
Perimeter denial burst

A single source address repeatedly blocked at the edge in a short window, consistent with scanning or a misconfigured integration.

MediumDiscovery
T1046Discovery
0
Rare process execution

A binary executed that is almost unseen across the estate. Rarity alone is not malice, but it is where unknown tooling surfaces first.

MediumExecution
T1059Execution
0
Repeated authorization failures in the console

One operator hitting the permission boundary repeatedly. Usually confusion about a role, occasionally an account probing for what it can reach.

MediumPlatform
T1087Discovery
0
Deprecated TLS negotiated

A session negotiated on TLS 1.0 or 1.1. A hygiene finding rather than an intrusion, but it is how downgrade paths stay open.
