Suspicious New-PSDrive to Admin Share
This rule detects the use of the PowerShell cmdlet `New-PSDrive` to map a new drive to a remote Windows administrative share (e.g., C$, ADMIN$). This activity is often associated with lateral movement by adversaries who use valid credentials to interact with remote systems over Server Message Block (SMB). The rule specifically looks for the `New-PSDrive` cmdlet, the `-psprovider filesystem` argument, the `-root` argument, and the presence of a UNC path (`\\`) ending with a dollar sign (`$`), which is characteristic of administrative shares.
