Description:**DEPRECATION NOTE** - This search has been deprecated and replaced with `Okta ThreatInsight Threat Detected`. The following analytic utilizes Oktas ThreatInsight to identify "PasswordSpray" and any included secondary outcome reasons. This event will trigger when a brute force attempt occurs with unknown usernames attempted.
Data_source:
search:`okta` eventType="security.threat.detected" AND outcome.reason="Password Spray"
| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime values(displayMessage) by eventType client.userAgent.rawUserAgent client.userAgent.browser outcome.reason
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `okta_threatinsight_suspected_passwordspray_attack_filter`


how_to_implement:This search is specific to Okta and requires Okta logs to be ingested in your Splunk deployment.
known_false_positives:Fidelity of this is high as it is Okta ThreatInsight. Filter and modify as needed.
