Detection: Organization Two-Factor Authentication Disabled

Overview

Detect when two-factor authentication (2FA) was disabled for a GitHub organization. Disabling 2FA increases the risk of unauthorized access by removing an additional layer of security. Monitoring these events ensures that strong authentication controls remain enforced and comply with security policies.

concat('https://github.com/', org) as resource,
actor,
tp_source_ip as source_ip,
tp_index as organization,
split_part(repo, '/', 2) as repository,
tp_id as source_id,
*
exclude (actor, timestamp)

from
  github_audit_log
where
  action = 'org.disable_two_factor_requirement'
order by
  tp_timestamp desc;
