About MITRE framework

Adversaries may create an account to maintain access to victim systems. With a sufficient level of access, creating such accounts may be used to establish secondary credentialed access that does not require persistent remote access tools to be deployed on the system.

Prerequisites

To use this alert pack, you must have the following data sources available on your domain:

Open alert pack

Once you have installed the alert pack, you can use the Open button at the top right of the card in Exchange to access the Alert configuration, where you can apply filters to find it and later manage it as required. You can also access this area via the Navigation pane (Administration → Alert Configuration → Available alerts).
