Lateral Movement Alerts from a Newly Observed User
This rule detects multiple lateral movement alerts from a user that was observed for the first time in the previous 5 days of alerts history. Analysts can use this high-order detection to prioritize triage and response.
Detection logic
Its licence does not clear it for publishing here
Sunturai publishes a detection's own text where the licence it arrived under has been reviewed and permits it, and Elastic License 2.0 has not. The query as its source wrote it, its canonical form and the hash that pins this revision are in the workspace record.
MITRE ATT&CK mappings
Not mapped to ATT&CK.
