Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA - Critical or High Severity Detections by User
Description
'Creates an incident when a large number of Critical or High severity CrowdStrike Falcon sensor detections is triggered by a single user within 1 hour. The rule uses the CrowdStrikeFalconEventStream table, filters for DetectionSummaryEvent records with Severity set to Critical or High, and alerts when detections for a single DstUserName exceed the configured threshold of 15. Review DstHostName, SrcIpAddr, FileName, FileHash, and Message for investigation context.'
