## Goal{% #goal %}

Detect a high number of failed login attempts for the user: `{{@usr.email}}` followed by a successful login.

## Strategy{% #strategy %}

Monitor Keeper logs for a significant rise in failed login attempts along with successful logins for a user. This may indicate potential unauthorized access attempts or brute force attacks.

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

- Investigate the source of the failed login attempts to determine whether they are legitimate users experiencing issues or potential attackers.
- Analyze the patterns of failed login attempts for the user: `{{@usr.email}}`, including IP addresses and timestamps, to identify any common characteristics.
- Implement additional security measures, such as account lockouts or deactivations, multi-factor authentication enforcement, and notifications to users about suspicious login attempts.
