What is Event ID 4625?
Event ID 4625 is triggered when a logon attempt fails on a Windows system. It captures critical details: logon type, source IP/workstation, account name/domain, and detailed failure codes. Tracking this event helps pinpoint failed logins and mitigate security risks quickly.
Why Monitoring Event 4625 Matters
Attackers often hide in plain sight—multiple Event 4625 logs can signal persistent hacking attempts like brute-force or password spraying. Agccordin to Verizon DBIR 2024, 70% of breaches follow successful credential abuse, making failed logon monitoring vital.
Tracking 4625 event ID events allows you to:
- Detect brute-force/password-spraying with spikes of failed attempts
- Identify repeated failures on sensitive accounts
- Correlate failures with success or privileged actions
- Maintain audit trails for NIST, CIS, PCI DSS, and GDPR
According to Microsoft’s security best practices, "66% of breached organizations had log evidence (like Event ID 4625) but failed to act in time"
—making Event ID 4625 a crucial early signal to catch password attacks before they succeed.
