Okta Identity Provider Created

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify the creation of new identity providers within Okta, which could signify a potential security threat. The specific event tracked by the rule is represented by 'system.idp.lifecycle.create'. Since identity providers can grant access to various services, unauthorized creation could lead to security breaches or persistence attacks. An example of a threat is if an attacker gains access to administrative rights and creates a false identity provider to gain unauthorized access to the organization's applications. This rule will alert administrators when such a creation event occurs, but it is important to note that legitimate events, such as authorized creations by administrators, may generate false positives. Thus, careful monitoring and investigation of alerts are required to reduce the risk of overlooking genuine threats while avoiding alert fatigue.
