Penetration Test🔗

The Penetration Test Detector identifies when a potential penetration test is ongoing. It monitors detections from sources across the Secureworks® Taegis™ platform and generates a detection when the count of detections indicative of a penetration test reaches a threshold within a window of time.

Penetration Test Detector

This detector is powered by the Tactic Graphs™ Detector.

Requirements🔗

This detector requires the following data sources, integrations, or schemas:

  • Detections
Inputs🔗

Detections are from the following normalized sources:

  • Detections
Outputs🔗

Detections from this detector are pushed to the XDR Detection Database and Detection Triage Dashboard.

Configuration Options🔗

This detector is enabled by default when the required data sources or integrations are available in the tenant.

MITRE ATT&CK Category🔗

This detector has no MITRE Mapping.

Detector Testing🔗

This detector does not have a supported testing method, though an Advanced Search will verify if detections originated with this detector.

Note

If no supported testing method is available, an Advanced Search will show you if any detections came from this detector if a qualifying event was observed. A search with no results does not indicate the detector is not working. A lack of search results for the detector may only indicate that the specific attack has not been observed in the tenant. However, it could indicate the underlying data is not available. Ensure the required schemas are provided in Data Sources along with the supported device type(s) for that schema.
