Multiple IP Entity Signin Logs

Query

// This query assumes a feed of threat indicators is ingested/synchronized periodically, and each synchronization ingests new indicators and only old indicators that have been modified.

Explanation

This query is designed to identify and analyze security threats by correlating threat intelligence indicators with sign-in logs. Here's a simplified breakdown of what the query does:

  1. Setup Parameters:

    • It defines several parameters like query_frequency, query_period, and query_wait to control the timing and duration of the query execution.
    • It also defines a table_query_lookback to determine how far back in time to look for events.
  2. Load Watchlists:

    • It retrieves benign properties and excluded sources from specific watchlists to filter out non-threatening indicators.
  3. Process Threat Indicators:

    • It fetches threat indicators from the ThreatIntelligenceIndicator table, focusing on active and non-expired indicators.
    • It filters out indicators from excluded sources and those with benign properties.
    • It deduplicates indicators based on IP addresses.
  4. Process Sign-in Logs:

    • It retrieves sign-in logs from the SigninLogs table within a specified time range.
    • It filters out logs with certain result types that are considered non-compromised.
  5. Match Indicators with Logs:

    • It performs an inner join between the processed threat indicators and sign-in logs based on IP addresses to find matches.
    • It projects relevant fields from both datasets for further analysis.
  6. Union of Results:

    • It combines results from current table events with all available indicators and past table events with new indicators since the last query execution.
    • It summarizes the results to take the most recent event for each unique combination of indicator and user.
  7. Output:

    • The final output includes details about the threat indicators and associated sign-in events, with additional fields for device details and conditional access policies.
    • It extends the output with custom entities for account and IP address for easier identification and analysis.

In essence, this query is used to detect potential security threats by matching known threat indicators with sign-in activities, helping security analysts to identify and respond to suspicious activities.
