VIEW RULE IN DATADOG VIEW SIGNALS

Set up the okta integration.

Goal

Detect when the multi-factor authentication (MFA) factors for an enrolled Okta user are reset.

Strategy

This rule lets you monitor the following Okta event to determine when a user’s MFA factors are reset:

• user.mfa.factor.reset_all

An attacker may attempt to reset MFA factors in a bid to access other user accounts by registering new attacker-controlled MFA factors.

Triage and response

1. Determine if the user: {{@usr.email}} should have reset the MFA factors of the targeted user.
2. If the change was not made by the user:
   • Disable the affected user accounts.
   • Rotate user credentials.
   • Return targeted users MFA factors to the last known good state.
   • Begin your organization’s incident response process and investigate.
3. If the change was made by the user:
   • Determine if the user was authorized to make that change.
   • If Yes, ensure the targeted user has new MFA factors assigned in accordance with organization policies.
   • If No, verify there are no other signals from the Okta administrator: {{@usr.email}}.
