Detects Portable Executable (PE) files written to users’ Downloads directories on Windows endpoints by identifying file signatures rather than relying on file extensions. This activity may indicate potential payload delivery, malware downloads, or legitimate user-initiated downloads. Review the file path, file name, company name, SHA-256 hash, and associated endpoint and user details to determine whether the file is suspicious.
