Explanation

This query is used to detect when a user reports suspicious activity related to multi-factor authentication (MFA). It requires two data connectors: Azure Active Directory - Signin Logs and Azure Active Directory Identity Protection.

In the first part of the query, it filters the SigninLogs for events with a ResultType of 500121, which indicates a failed MFA attempt. It then expands the AuthenticationDetails field and filters for events where the AuthResultDetail is "SuspiciousActivityReported". The selected fields are TimeGenerated, UserPrincipalName, ResultType, AppDisplayName, AuthResultDetail, Location, IPAddress, UserAgent, and CorrelationId.

In the second part of the query, it filters the AADUserRiskEvents for events with a RiskEventType of "userReportedSuspiciousActivity". The selected fields are TimeGenerated, UserPrincipalName, DetectionTimingType, RiskEventType, and RiskState.

Both sets of events are written to Azure AD Identity Protection.
