Description:The following analytic detects CrowdStrike alerts for non-admin accounts with duplicate password risk, identifying instances where multiple non-admin users share the same password. This practice weakens security and increases the potential for unauthorized access. Addressing these alerts is essential to ensure each user account has a unique, strong password, thereby enhancing overall security and protecting sensitive information.

how_to_implement:To implement crowdstrike:identities logs, use the Falcon Streaming API. Set up an API client, authenticate with your CrowdStrike credentials, and subscribe to the "crowdstrike:identities" event stream. Process and store the logs as needed, integrating them into your logging or SIEM system for monitoring and analysis.
