Detection logic
Fires when at least one $process event in the 5m window.
Events
$process
target.process.command_line matches "net.*use.*(C|ADMIN|IPC)\$"principal.user.department != "Information Technology"principal.user.title = "Intern"
Correlation
Outcome
Fields the detection emits on a match. $risk_score drives alerting; Chronicle surfaces the rest on the detection.
