The rule 'PingID Mismatch Auth Source and Verification Response' is designed to detect discrepancies between the IP address of an authentication event and the associated verification response event in the context of PingID logs. This rule focuses specifically on the 'auth_Country' and 'verify_Country' fields extracted from JSON logs. Suspicious sign-in behaviors may indicate account compromise, unauthorized access attempts, or attackers trying to bypass security mechanisms. By analyzing these differences in originating countries, organizations can identify potential security incidents before they lead to unauthorized access of sensitive systems and data. The detection rule uses a combination of filtering and statistical analysis to highlight instances where the authentication and verification IP addresses do not match in their country of origin, thus flagging them for security teams to review. Proper implementation requires integration of logs from the PingID service and alerts follow-up procedures should an anomaly be detected.
