LSASS Credential Dump Followed by DCOM Lateral Movement via Network Logon
This rule correlates three distinct events to detect a potential credential theft and lateral movement chain: an LSASS credential dump, followed by an NTLM network logon, and then a DCOM activation of mmc.exe with the '-Embedding' flag on the target system. This sequence of events is indicative of an attacker compromising credentials, using them to move laterally, and then potentially executing further commands or tools via DCOM.
