  Detects blocked Delta Sharing access attempts due to IP access list restrictions,
  which may indicate unauthorized access attempts from unexpected locations.
Runbook: |
  1. Query audit logs for all Delta Sharing access attempts from this IP in the past 24 hours
  2. Check if the source IP is associated with known threats or unexpected geographic locations
  3. Find all Delta Sharing access failures in the past 7 days to identify patterns

Detection logic

Condition

serviceName eq "deltaSharingAccess"
response.statusCode in ["403", "401"]
response.errorMessage contains "address" or response.errorMessage contains "network" or response.errorMessage contains "cidr" or response.errorMessage contains "allowlist" or response.errorMessage contains "blocklist"

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
response.errorMessagecontains
  • address
  • allowlist
  • blocklist
  • cidr
  • network

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.
