What it detects
This rule detects registration of a new device in Entra ID which commonly follows successful device-code phishing. In the Dangerous Invitations campaign the Russian actor registered attacker-controlled devices to obtain durable access after luring targets with spoofed European security event invitations. Adding a rogue device is a stealthy persistence mechanism that can bypass conditional access and sustain access to the tenant.
