747 detections

Detects instances where an unexpected process loads both 'amsi.dll' and .NET runtime modules ('clr.dll' or 'mscoree.dll'). This behavior is frequently associated with malicious, position-independent shellcode that attempts to disable AMSI scanning and host the CLR in-memory to execute malicious .NET assemblies or payloads, avoiding standard .NET execution environments like PowerShell or msbuild.exe.

Detects modifications to cloud security guardrails including AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs), Azure Policy assignments/exemptions, and GCP Organization Policies. These actions may indicate an attempt to disable security controls or weaken organizational policy enforcement.

This rule detects administrative changes to Conditional Access (CA) policies in Entra ID (Azure AD), specifically monitoring for the disabling of policies, transitioning them to report-only mode, or the removal of critical security grant controls such as MFA or Compliant Device requirements. It also alerts on the outright deletion of any CA policy, which could indicate an adversary attempting to bypass security controls or maintain persistent access.

Detects multiple methods of tampering with Windows Defender security controls within a short time window. This includes PowerShell commands to modify Defender preferences (e.g., disabling Real-time Monitoring or adding exclusions), modifications to Defender-related registry keys, and attempts to stop or disable the WinDefend service.

Detects the loading of a legitimately signed but vulnerable driver from suspicious directories (e.g., Temp, Downloads) followed closely by the termination of critical security/EDR service processes. This sequence is indicative of Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) exploitation used to disable security controls prior to ransomware deployment.

This rule detects the suspicious loading of known vulnerable drivers (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver - BYOVD) via the Windows service control manager (sc.exe) or event log 7045, followed by the immediate termination of major endpoint security software processes within a 300-second window. This behavior is indicative of an attempt to disable or tamper with security tools using kernel-level privileges.

Detects attempts to disable, stop, or reconfigure security software (Antivirus, EDR, Endpoint Protection) on Windows endpoints by abusing legitimate administrative utilities such as sc.exe, net.exe, taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell to tamper with service configurations or kill security-related processes.

Detects a suspicious pattern of mass security process termination, where a process masquerading as legitimate consumer or gaming software (e.g., Kaspersky, Valorant, Javelin) repeatedly uses commands like taskkill, sc stop, or NtTerminateProcess to disable EDR agents and antivirus software within a short time window. This behavior is indicative of pre-ransomware staging activities used by threat actors.

Detects attempts to bypass or tamper with the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) in-memory by monitoring command lines of common script-hosting processes (e.g., PowerShell, WScript, Rundll32) for strings indicative of AmsiScanBuffer patching, reflection, or manual configuration of AMSI initialization states.

Detects attempts to disable security services (Windows Defender, EDR agents), modify audit policies via auditpol, or stop/clear the Windows Event Log service. This behavior is a common precursor to post-compromise activity intended to blind defenders and conceal malicious actions.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Windows Defender settings (e.g., disabling real-time monitoring, adding exclusions, or stopping services) using the Set-MpPreference cmdlet or service control commands. This technique is frequently utilized by ransomware actors, such as the ALPHV/BlackCat group, to neutralize security protections prior to executing malicious payloads.

Detects the use of the sc.exe command-line utility to stop or disable the Microsoft Defender Antivirus service (WinDefend). This activity is often associated with ransomware, such as Nova ransomware, to bypass security controls prior to malicious encryption or data destruction.

Detects the use of PowerShell Set-MpPreference commands to disable multiple Microsoft Defender security features, including real-time monitoring, behavioral scanning, and threat detection actions. This activity is consistent with ransomware behavior, such as Nova or The Gentlemen families, attempting to neutralize endpoint protection before proceeding with malicious actions like file encryption.

Detects the use of PowerShell to modify Microsoft Defender exclusion paths by adding root drive letters or temporary directory paths. This behavior is indicative of defense evasion techniques often employed by ransomware families, such as Nova or Gentlemen, to prevent the scanning of files immediately prior to encryption.

Detects attempts to terminate security-related processes (AV/EDR) using common administrative tools including taskkill.exe, wmic.exe, and PowerShell Stop-Process. This behavior is frequently observed during the pre-encryption phase of ransomware attacks, such as Nova and Gentlemen, to evade detection.

Detects a behavioral pattern characteristic of Everest ransomware, where a sequence of rapid process terminations occurs within a 20-second window. The rule identifies the coordinated termination of security/analysis tools, antivirus/backup/database services, and other high-memory processes on a single device, excluding known legitimate maintenance processes.

Detects the abuse of WerFaultSecure.exe or similar Windows Error Reporting processes, invoked with debugging or dumping flags against security/EDR process names, or spawned by unexpected parent processes. This technique is often used to freeze security tools (EDR-Freeze) by exploiting process suspension via mini-dump handles.

Detects unauthorized modification or deletion of AWS Bedrock guardrails. Adversaries may delete or degrade these guardrails (lowering sensitivity to 'NONE' or 'LOW') to bypass content filters, PII redaction, and safety controls, enabling toxic output generation or data exfiltration via LLM applications.
