Summary
The Axonius API Key Reset detection rule is designed to monitor and log actions related to the resetting of API keys within the Axonius platform. It primarily focuses on detecting when an API key is reset by users with access to the service, capturing necessary details about the action for auditing and compliance purposes. By logging events specifically categorized under 'AuditAction.ResetApiKey' and 'AuditCategory.Settings', the detection rule can provide insight into potential unauthorized resets or suspicious activity associated with API key management. The severity of this rule is classified as low, indicating that while the event may not require immediate action, it is crucial to monitor such changes to maintain system integrity and manage API access appropriately. The rule further specifies a potential response or action in the runbook, instructing administrators to review the activities around the reset action, verify the credentials or service user involved, and escalate if necessary. As API keys are critical for authenticating and authorizing access to services, maintaining oversight of their management is essential for organizational security.
