Okta: User_Group Privilege Grant

Anvilogic Forge

View Source
Summary
This detection rule monitors the granting of admin privileges to user accounts or groups within the Okta Identity Management system. By analyzing events from the Okta logs, the rule aims to identify potential unauthorized privilege escalations that could lead to security breaches. It uses a query to check for specific event types such as 'group.privilege.grant' and 'user.account.privilege.grant' that indicate when admin privileges are granted to users or groups. The query restricts the monitoring to events that have occurred in the last two hours, thereby ensuring that the investigation is focused on recent activity. The associated techniques include persistence through valid accounts, privilege escalation via valid accounts, and evading detection by leveraging existing account privileges, which highlights the importance of closely monitoring administrative actions for forensic and audit purposes.
