The following analytic detects instances where a Duo user's status is changed to "Bypass" for 2FA, specifically when the previous status was "Active." This behavior is identified by analyzing Duo activity logs for user update actions, extracting the status transitions, and filtering for cases where a user is set to bypass multi-factor authentication. This is a critical event for a Security Operations Center (SOC) to monitor, as bypassing 2FA significantly weakens account security and may indicate malicious insider activity or account compromise. Attackers or unauthorized administrators may exploit this change to disable strong authentication controls, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive systems and data. Early detection of such changes enables rapid investigation and response, helping to prevent potential breaches and limit the impact of credential-based attacks.
