'Shows the rarest processes seen running for the first time. (Performs best over longer time ranges - eg 3+ days rather than 24 hours!)
These new processes could be benign new programs installed on hosts;
However, especially in normally stable environments, these new processes could provide an indication of an unauthorized/malicious binary that has been installed and run.
Reviewing the wider context of the logon sessions in which these binaries ran can provide a good starting point for identifying possible attacks.'
