Pathlock TDnR - Global System Change Setting Events

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

Detects changes to global SAP system change settings, forwarded by Pathlock Threat Detection and Response. System change option modifications (e.g. enabling software changes in production) bypass change management processes and may allow unauthorized code or configuration changes to be applied directly to production systems.
