Detects cross-process access (such as memory read/write) by an unsigned process against sensitive system processes (e.g., lsass.exe, svchost.exe, explorer.exe). This activity is often a precursor to credential dumping, process hollowing, or other forms of process injection used by malicious actors to achieve persistence or privilege escalation.
