# CA Application SignIn Failures ## Query Information #### MITRE ATT&CK Technique(s) | Technique ID | Title | Link | | --- | --- | --- | | T1078.004 | Valid Accounts: Cloud Accounts | https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1078/004/| #### Description This KQL query lists all applications that trigger failed signin requests due to conditional access failures. This can indicate that a certain policy is not well configured and need to be changed in order for accounts to be able to access the application. On the other hand it can also be that the failed signins are valid credentials that adversaries have obtained and they are used to try and gain acces to certain applications in your environment. The CA policy will only block if the previous authentication requirements have already been met (e.g. username + password (+mfa)). #### Risk Adversaries have access to cloud credentials and are stopped due to CA policies. #### References - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/architecture/security-operations-consumer-accounts - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/ ## Sentinel ```KQL SigninLogs | where ResultType != 0 | where ResultDescription has "Conditional Access" | summarize Total = count(), ResultTypes = make_set(ResultType), ResultDescriptions = make_set(ResultDescription) by AppDisplayName | sort by Total ```
This query is used to identify applications that have experienced failed sign-in attempts due to conditional access failures. It helps to identify if there are any issues with the configuration of the conditional access policies that may be preventing users from accessing the application. It also alerts if adversaries have obtained valid credentials and are attempting to gain unauthorized access to the application. The query counts the total number of failed sign-ins and groups them by the application's display name. The results are sorted by the total number of failed sign-ins.
