You are troubleshooting why the rule shown in the exhibit generates incidents for successful Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections with valid logins. It should trigger only when a person fails to log in three or more times to the target device while connecting through RDP.

What is causing the rule to trigger on correct login events?

  • A The attribute types in the subpatterns do not match
  • B The RDP login is different from the login used to access the target device.
  • C The subpattern relationship RDP_Connection:User = Failed_Logon:User never matches.
  • D The Boolean between the subpatterns is incorrect.
Explanation

The subpatterns are connected with OR, so either a port-3389 RDP connection or three failed logon events is sufficient to trigger the rule. Because the RDP_Connection subpattern requires only one matching RDP traffic event, successful RDP connections independently satisfy the rule. FortiSIEM defines an OR relationship between subpatterns as requiring either subpattern to occur.
