Service Started/Stopped Via Wmic.EXE
Detects the usage of wmic.exe to start or stop a Windows service. This activity can be indicative of an adversary attempting to manipulate system services for various malicious purposes, such as persistence, privilege escalation, or defense evasion. While wmic.exe is a legitimate system tool, its use to control services should be monitored, especially when originating from unusual processes or user contexts.
