Okta open-sources catalog of Auth0 rules for threat detection

What’s new: Okta has open-sourced a catalog of Sigma-based queries for Auth0 customers to enhance threat detection capabilities. This includes ready-made rules to identify account takeovers, misconfigurations, and suspicious activities in event logs, allowing security teams to analyze Auth0 logs more effectively.

Who’s affected

Organizations using Auth0 for identity and access management are impacted, particularly those looking to improve their threat detection and response capabilities.

What to do

  • Access the GitHub repository and clone or download it locally.
  • Install a Sigma converter (e.g., sigma-cli) to translate the rules into your SIEM or log analysis platform’s query syntax.
  • Import the converted queries into your monitoring workflow and configure them to run against Auth0 event logs.
  • Run the rules against historical logs to validate functionality and adjust filters to minimize false positives.
  • Deploy validated detections into production and regularly check the GitHub repository for updates from Okta or the community.
