Detection: Crowdstrike Admin With Duplicate Password
Description
The following analytic detects CrowdStrike alerts for admin accounts with duplicate password risk, identifying instances where administrative users share the same password. This practice significantly increases the risk of unauthorized access and potential breaches. Addressing these alerts promptly is crucial for maintaining strong security protocols, ensuring each admin account uses a unique, secure password to protect critical systems and data.
