Name:Azure AD Successful Single-Factor Authentication id:a560e7f6-1711-4353-885b-40be53101fcd version:5 date:2024-09-30 author:Mauricio Velazco, Gowthamaraj Rajendran, Splunk status:production type:TTP Description:The following analytic identifies a successful single-factor authentication event against Azure Active Directory. It leverages Azure SignInLogs data, specifically focusing on events where single-factor authentication succeeded. This activity is significant as it may indicate a misconfiguration, policy violation, or potential account takeover attempt. If confirmed malicious, an attacker could gain unauthorized access to the account, potentially leading to data breaches, privilege escalation, or further exploitation within the environment. Data_source:
-Azure Active Directory

how_to_implement:You must install the latest version of Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Cloud Services from Splunkbase (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3110/#/details). You must be ingesting Azure Active Directory events into your Splunk environment through an EventHub. This analytic was written to be used with the azure:monitor:aad sourcetype leveraging the Signin log category. known_false_positives:Although not recommended, certain users may be required without multi-factor authentication.
