The ZIA Insecure Password Settings detection rule is designed to identify when insecure password configurations are present within the Zscaler Internet Access platform. This rule focuses on tracking specific changes to authentication settings, such as the use of permanent cookies for authentication, allowing password expiry to be set to 'never', and having no enforced password strength. These configurations are considered insecure practices as they do not uphold common security standards, thus exposing the system to potential unauthorized access. The detection rule analyzes admin audit logs for relevant updates and flags them when configurations match the unsafe parameters. When such settings are detected, it triggers alerts for remediation and encourages administrators to implement secure password practices based on the guidance provided in the runbook and reference materials. The rule is rated as medium severity due to the potential risks associated with these insecure settings.
