Azure Kubernetes CronJob

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule focuses on identifying instances when Azure Kubernetes CronJobs are executed within an Azure Cloud environment. CronJobs in Kubernetes are essentially controllers that facilitate the scheduling of jobs, which are designed to carry out finite tasks, typically running containers for batch processing. The detection rule is important because adversaries may leverage CronJobs to schedule the execution of malicious containers in a Kubernetes cluster, thus posing a serious security risk. The rule utilizes specific Azure activity logs to detect operations relating to Kubernetes jobs and emphasizes safeguarding the integrity of cloud-based infrastructures against potential misuse of scheduling features within Kubernetes.
