DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
FTP servers can be a common target for attackers. Brute force attacks, which are low cost and relatively easy to perform, can help attackers find valid login credentials.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.

Before an attacker can access an FTP server that contains valuable information, they must first acquire valid credentials. A brute force attack is a method for guessing a weak user password. Brute force attacks can occur manually through trial and error or with password cracking tools.
Implement strong authentication methods for remote access services
Implement network segmentation and firewall policies to limit how devices can communicate and enforce security zones
Review authentication methods and enforce policies for secure credential creation and multi-factor authentication
