Duo Admin Create Admin

Panther Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify the creation of new administrator accounts in the Duo security platform. When an account is created, a log entry is generated that captures details about the new administrator, such as their name, email, role, and status. The rule specifically looks for a log entry where the action is 'admin_create' and checks expected parameters such as the username and status of the new account. If such an entry is detected, it flags it as a high-severity event, indicating that a new admin has been added to the environment, which could potentially be a point of concern for security operations. The rule also implements a deduplication period of 60 minutes to prevent redundant alerts for the same event. An anomalous or unexpected admin creation could indicate malicious activity or a misconfiguration, thus requiring immediate investigation.
