This rule detects the creation of scheduled tasks using names that masquerade as legitimate update services for Microsoft Edge, OneDrive, or Windows. Adversaries often use these names to hide persistence mechanisms within the Task Scheduler to maintain system access.

This rule detects the use of the LockAppHost process to execute suspicious commands associated with tampering with security configurations, including Windows Defender settings, service management (sc.exe), and task scheduling. Adversaries may abuse this process to bypass security controls, disable real-time monitoring, or maintain persistence.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task named 'GlobalProtectVPNUpdate' using schtasks.exe, which has been identified as a technique used to facilitate the execution of malicious payloads masquerading as legitimate GlobalProtect VPN components. It also monitors for the subsequent execution of 'GlobalProtect.exe' when initiated by Windows background services like taskeng.exe or svchost.exe, which is indicative of persistence and unauthorized code execution.

Detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the initiating process is a script interpreter such as 'mshta.exe' or 'powershell.exe'. This behavior is often associated with the execution of malicious payloads or the establishment of persistence.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task intended to run an executable named 'wsc_updata.exe' from a temporary directory, or identifies svchost.exe initiating a process from that location. Such behavior is indicative of potential persistence mechanisms where malicious actors attempt to run code from unauthorized or writable directories under the context of system processes or scheduled tasks.

This rule detects the creation of a scheduled task using 'schtasks.exe' where the task name matches commonly abused names such as 'WinUpdate.exe', 'SoftManager.exe', or 'LockAppHost.exe'. These names are frequently used by adversaries to masquerade as legitimate Windows processes to achieve persistence.

Detects when the Postgres service process or account attempts to modify system-level persistence mechanisms, such as scheduled tasks (cron/schtasks) or system services (systemd/startup folders), which are typical behaviors for an adversary using database service context to maintain persistence.

Detects the creation of a Windows Scheduled Task configured with the 'InteractiveToken' LogonType. This configuration is often associated with adversary techniques designed to execute tasks in an interactive user context, potentially to bypass certain security controls or to facilitate the extraction of sensitive tokens or credentials (e.g., PRT cookies).

Detects instances where a Windows Scheduled Task is created (Event ID 4698) and subsequently deleted (Event ID 4699) within a very short timeframe (less than 120 seconds). This behavior is often indicative of an adversary creating a temporary task for execution and immediately cleaning up evidence to avoid detection.

This rule detects instances where LockAppHost.exe or a variation of it (likely used as a proxy) initiates processes or command-line arguments that interact with Windows services, scheduled tasks, or Windows Defender configurations. This behavior is indicative of an adversary attempting to disable security features, suppress Windows updates, or manipulate system services to evade detection.
