Detect Password Spray Attempts

splApache-2.0from splunk/security_content

This analytic employs the 3-sigma approach to detect an unusual volume of failed authentication attempts from a single source. A password spray attack is a type of brute force attack where an attacker tries a few common passwords across many different accounts to avoid detection and account lockouts. By utilizing the Authentication Data Model, this detection is effective for all CIM-mapped authentication events, providing comprehensive coverage and enhancing security against these attacks.
