Challenge
Monitoring Sensitive Data Access and Identifying Suspicious Commands
In this challenge, you will use Kibana to detect unauthorized access to sensitive data and unusual commands that may indicate a security breach. In addition to detecting unauthorized access, you will also identify and analyze suspicious queries or commands that could indicate malicious activity. This includes detecting data exfiltration attempts or command execution patterns that suggest an insider threat or compromised account. You will also cross-reference these activities with prior anomalous login behaviors for a comprehensive analysis.
