Accounts With Unusually High Activity

Detects accounts with unusually high daily sign-in events, which can indicate unauthorized or malicious activity or the presence of a service account. An account will fail this check if Oort detects more than 1,000 sign-in events per day.

Recommended Actions

For the known service accounts and machine identities, change an IDP attribute of the account such as User Type, title, or department to include the phrase Service Account so that it can be identified easily. You may also elect to exclude the account from this check indefinitely if this is normal behavior for the service account. If it is a regular user account, then investigate the spike to determine what application is generating the activity.
