Summary
The GSuite User Device Unlock Failures rule is designed to detect instances where a user has failed to unlock their mobile device multiple times in quick succession, indicating a potential brute force attack attempt. The rule analyzes GSuite activity events specifically looking for failed password attempts on mobile devices. If the number of failed password attempts within a short timeframe exceeds a predefined threshold, the detection rule triggers an alert. The rule employs GSuite's logging mechanism to identify the events related to mobile device unlock failures and monitors for abnormal activity patterns based on user email. This detection is significant as it may point to unauthorized access attempts by malicious actors who have acquired the user's device, thus ensuring better protection of user data by flagging such behaviors for further analysis.
