Credential Theft Hunt and Anomaly Validation

The Credential Theft Hunt & Anomaly Validation Agent detects and validates potential credential theft by correlating multiple security signals across the environment.

Instead of relying on single alerts, the agent performs automated cross-source analysis by linking suspicious endpoint activity from Microsoft Defender XDR, identity anomalies from Microsoft Entra ID. This correlation-driven approach reduces false positives and minimizes alert noise.

When strong evidence of credential theft is identified, the agent assigns a confidence score and creates enriched incidents in Microsoft Sentinel, including timelines, MITRE ATT&CK mappings, and actionable response guidance.

By automating investigation and validation, the agent helps SOC teams reduce alert fatigue, improve detection accuracy, and focus on high-fidelity incidents.
