Goal

Detect when a user configures a mailbox audit logging bypass.

Strategy

Monitor Microsoft 365 Exchange audit logs to look for the operation Set-MailboxAuditBypassAssociation. When this operation is configured, no activity is logged, such as a user or account accessing or taking other actions in a mailbox. Attackers may configure this setting to evade existing defenses.

Triage and response

  1. Inspect the @Parameters.Identity attribute to determine which user or account will bypass mailbox audit logging.
  2. Determine if there is a legitimate use case for the mailbox audit bypass by contacting the user {{@usr.email}}.
  3. If {{@usr.email}} is not aware of the mailbox audit bypass:
    • Investigate other activities performed by the user {{@usr.email}} and @Parameters.Identity using the Cloud SIEM - User Investigation dashboard.
    • Begin your organization’s incident response process and investigate.
