Description

The following analytic detects multiple CrowdStrike LOW severity alerts, indicating a series of minor suspicious activities or policy violations. These alerts are not immediately critical but should be reviewed to prevent potential threats. They often highlight unusual behavior or low-level risks that, if left unchecked, could escalate into more significant security issues. Regular monitoring and analysis of these alerts are essential for maintaining robust security.

How To Implement

To implement CrowdStrike stream JSON logs, use the Falcon Streaming API. Set up an API client, authenticate with your CrowdStrike credentials, and subscribe to the "CrowdStrike:Event:Streams:JSON" event stream. Process and store the JSON logs as needed, integrating them into your logging or SIEM system for monitoring and analysis.
