Okta blocked numerous requests from a malicious IP

okta

Classification:

attack

Set up the okta integration.

Goal

Detect when a request is blocked due to a block list rule (such as an IP network zone or location rule).

Strategy

This rule lets you monitor the following Okta events to detect when a malicious IP address communicates with your Okta account:

  • security.request.blocked

Triage & Response

  1. Verify with the owner of {{@usr.name}} that they were attempting a request to {{@target_app}}.
  2. If the request cannot be verified with the user, correlate with other log sources to see if the blocked IP in the title of {{@title}} has communicated elsewhere on the network.
