The detection rule identifies the generation of bypass codes in Cisco Duo, which allows users to circumvent multi-factor authentication (2FA) security protocols. By monitoring Duo activity logs specifically for the action 'bypass_create', the rule names the affected object as the user and aggregates events to highlight instances of bypass code issuance. This monitoring is crucial for Security Operations Centers (SOC) to detect potential account compromises or abusive behaviors that threaten security. If an attacker or unauthorized individual can generate a bypass code, they could gain access to sensitive systems without the necessary authentication factor. Rapid detection is vital, enabling investigation and response to avoid unauthorized access and potential data breaches. Continuous monitoring of this action upholds authentication integrity and mitigates credential-based attack risks.
