SecurityEvent - Multiple authentication failures followed by a success

Description

'Identifies accounts who have failed to logon to the domain multiple times in a row, followed by a successful authentication within a short time frame. Multiple failed attempts followed by a success can be an indication of a brute force attempt or possible mis-configuration of a service account within an environment. The lookback is set to 2h and the authentication window and threshold are set to 1h and 5, meaning we need to see a minimum of 5 failures followed by a success for an account within 1 hour to surface an alert.'
