BeyondTrust Bomgar Post-Exploitation Activity Detection
This rule detects suspicious post-exploitation activity originating from the BeyondTrust/Bomgar session process, `bomgar-scc.exe`. It identifies the execution of common Windows command-line interpreters and scripting environments (`cmd.exe`, `powershell.exe`, `pwsh.exe`, etc.) or the presence of specific command-line substrings indicative of privilege escalation, credential access, reconnaissance, lateral movement, defense evasion (like log clearing), or download/execution cradles. The rule assigns a risk score based on the detected activities and triggers an alert if the cumulative score and unique child process count exceed predefined thresholds, suggesting a high-confidence post-exploitation scenario.
