Pathlock TDnR - SE16N Direct Table Change Documents

Status: available
Severity: high
Time window: 1h
Source: github.com/Azure/Azure-Sentinel

Detects direct table data changes made via SE16N (Table Browser) in SAP, forwarded by Pathlock Threat Detection and Response. SE16N changes bypass normal application workflows and audit trails, making them a high-risk activity that could indicate data manipulation, log tampering, or unauthorized direct database modifications.
