Question
Although the user tried many login failures, the "Excessive login failures" policy didn't detect any alerts.
Why doesn't the "Excessive login failures" policy detect an alert?
Environment
- Prisma Cloud Enterprise Edition
- Anomaly policy
Answer
- To trigger this alert, the user needs to perform failed login operations exceeding the threshold value followed by a successful login event within 15 minutes.
- In case there was no successful login event, the policy won't detect any alerts even if there were many failed login events in the 15 min interval.
Additional Information
- This policy captures IAM users console login events only.
- The login events from the command line operations with security tokens do not capture login events. Also the SSO login events are not normally generating audit events.
