Detects when a service key is revoked. Unauthorized revocation could indicate an attacker disrupting integrations or covering tracks after using a compromised key. The service_key_id and service_name fields identify which key was revoked.

  using a compromised key. The service_key_id and service_name fields
  identify which key was revoked.
Runbook: |
  1. Find all Anthropic.Activity events by actor:email_address in the 6 hours before and after the alert to determine if this is part of routine key rotation or incident response
  2. Check if a service_key_created event occurred near this revocation to determine if this is a key rotation or a standalone revocation
  3. Check if actor:ip_address is associated with known VPN/proxy services or matches previously seen IP addresses for this actor

Detection logic

Condition

type eq "service_key_revoked"

Indicators

Each row is a field, operator, and value that the rule matches. The corpus column counts how many other rules in the catalog look for the same combination: high numbers point to widely-used, community-vetted indicators. Blank or 1 shows that the indicator is specific to this rule.

FieldKindValues
typeeq
  • service_key_revoked

Output fields

Fields the rule emits when it matches. Chronicle authors list these in the outcome block; they appear on the detection and $risk_score drives alerting. Sentinel / Defender XDR rules build them up through project / summarize / extend stages. Sentinel maps these into alert fields via entityMappings and customDetails; Defender XDR custom detections surface them as alert fields directly.
