Too Many Global Admins

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule identifies situations where there may be an excessive number of accounts assigned the Global Administrator role in Azure's Privileged Identity Management (PIM). The presence of too many Global Admins can pose significant security risks, making it critical to monitor and manage these roles effectively. The detection focuses on alerting security teams when an incident related to too many administrators has been triggered. The rule utilizes Azure's risk event type to filter for specific incidents that warrant further investigation. Organizations are advised to regularly review their Global Admin assignments to mitigate risks associated with privilege escalation attacks. By maintaining a minimal number of Global Admins, organizations can enhance their security posture and reduce potential attack vectors that target high-privilege accounts.
