# Salesforce user activity from suspicious IP address
Classification:attackTactic:[TA0001-initial-access](https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0001)Technique:[T1078-valid-accounts](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1078) 
## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect when Salesforce activity occurs from suspicious IP addresses.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

Using logs generated by Salesforce audit logging, IP addresses are monitored in relation to:

- Tor exit nodes
- Non-corporate VPNs
- Hosting or botnet proxy networks
- Suspicious or malicious threat intelligence

Not all Salesforce event logs include an IP address. This detection triggers on any action that occurs with an IP address included in the log.

## Triage and response{% #triage-and-response %}

- Examine the associated user ID and event that occurred within the Salesforce audit logs.
- Determine if the event succeeded and if the `{{@network.client.ip}}` is expected within your environment.
- If the activity is unauthorized or suspicious, initiate your incident response plan.
