Summary
The `Okta ThreatInsight Suspected PasswordSpray Attack` rule was designed to identify potential password spraying attacks against user accounts within Okta's infrastructure. Password spraying is a type of brute force attack where the attacker attempts to gain unauthorized access by trying a small number of commonly used passwords against a large number of accounts. This particular search utilizes Okta ThreatInsight to trigger when such attacks are detected, specifically looking for events where the outcome reason is labeled as "Password Spray". When activated, it counts the occurrences of such events and outputs relevant time stamps and user agent information for further investigation. This rule is deprecated as it has been replaced by the `Okta ThreatInsight Threat Detected` rule, which provides similar functionality with enhanced detection capabilities. It is crucial for organizations using Okta to monitor for these types of attacks to prevent account compromise and maintain security posture.
