How to Investigate a Sudden Increase in Privileged Cloud Actions

A surge can reflect planned automation, an administrator task, or misuse of privileged credentials.

Checks to make

Group audit events by identity, action, resource, and source, compare with approved changes, and review sign-ins and role activation. Preserve evidence and verify the activity with the owner through a trusted channel before broad containment.
