Azure VM RunCommand Execution Outside Change Window (T1651)
This rule detects the successful execution of the 'Run Command' action on Azure virtual machines outside of defined business hours (8 AM to 6 PM). Run Command allows the execution of arbitrary scripts on a VM, which can be leveraged for administrative tasks but also by attackers for post-exploitation activities, persistence, or lateral movement. Monitoring these operations during off-hours may indicate unauthorized use or anomalous administrative activity.
