Okta MFA Globally Disabled

Panther Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule detects when an admin user has disabled the multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirement for an Okta account. The disabling of MFA represents a significant security risk, as it makes the account more vulnerable to unauthorized access. The rule monitors Okta System Logs for specific event types associated with MFA status changes, particularly looking for the event indicating that MFA has been deactivated. When such an event is logged with a severity level marked as HIGH, the rule triggers an alert, indicating potentially unauthorized alteration of account security settings. Administrators are advised to verify whether this action was intentional and sanctioned, given its implications for security.
