Knowledge Base & Operational DocumentationHow to Investigate a Security Alert for a New Service Account
A new service account may support an approved integration or create persistent access that is difficult to attribute. Its permissions and secret custody can be broader than the immediate task requires.
What to check
Review creator, owner, purpose, permissions, authentication method, secret storage, last use, and approval record. Compare activity with deployment logs and inspect whether the account can sign in interactively.
Recommended next step
Confirm ownership and scope, reduce unnecessary permissions, and disable interactive access when supported. Add monitoring and an expiry or recertification date so the account does not become ownerless.
