RulenameInsider Risk_High User Security Alert Correlations
DescriptionThis alert joins SecurityAlerts from Microsoft Products with SecurityIncidents from Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Defender XDR. This join allows for identifying patterns in user principal names associated with respective security alerts. A machine learning function (Basket) is leveraged with a .001 threshold. Baset finds all frequent patterns of discrete attributes (dimensions) in the data. It returns the frequent patterns passed the frequency threshold. This query evaluates UserPrincipalName for patterns in SecurityAlerts and Reporting Security Tools. This query can be further tuned/configured for higher confidence percentages, security products, or alert severities pending the needs of the organization. There is an option for configuration of correlations against Microsoft Sentinel watchlists. For more information on the basket plugin, see basket plugin
