Azure Storage Blob Container Permissions Modified

Panther Rules

View Source
Summary
This rule detects modifications of permissions on Azure Storage blob containers, which could signify attempts by adversaries to enable public access, gain unauthorized entry, or set the stage for data exfiltration. The monitoring of such changes is critical because they may signal attempts to access sensitive data, establish persistence through unauthorized external access, or facilitate ransomware operations by altering access controls prior to encryption. The rule calls for examining Azure Monitor Activity logs to track storage container operations, identify suspicious patterns, and correlate permission changes with subsequent blob operations to assess potential data exfiltration risk.
