DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
Brute force attacks are low cost and relatively easy to do, so they are common. If an attacker gains entry to your network through a poorly-secured workstation, it can lead to further exploits of higher-value assets. It is worth your time to secure workstations by adding strict password requirements.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.
Category
Brute force attacks can occur manually through trial and error or with password cracking tools. The attacker makes repeated attempts to try all possible variations of a password. There are variations of a brute force attack that include a dictionary attack, where the attacker tests a large number of common passwords. Stealthy brute force attacks can also occur through a small number of attempts across a large number of hosts.
Add strict password requirements, such as complex passwords, limit login attempts, and lock out users who repeatedly submit invalid passwords
Add multi-factor authentication

This analysis exposes the critical link between an organization's lack of internal visibility and the escalating cost of compromise, demanding an urgent re-evaluation of how core business assets are protected.
Learn why you need to be wary of the claims certain network detection and response providers make about their coverage against the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
