GitHub Enterprise Pause Audit Log Event Stream

Splunk Security Content

View Source
Summary
This rule detects when a user pauses audit log event streaming in GitHub Enterprise, an action that can indicate potential malicious intent. By monitoring GitHub Enterprise audit logs for configuration changes that suspend audit log streaming, the rule identifies instances where an attacker may be attempting to obscure their activities. The pause in logging creates a window of opportunity for unauthorized actions without detection, significantly impairing security monitoring and incident response capabilities during this time. The rule utilizes specific search criteria to evaluate the audit logs and generate alerts for SOC teams, highlighting critical changes that necessitate further investigation and response. The implementation requires integration with Splunk and ingestion of GitHub Enterprise logs through audit log streaming.
