Detection logic

Fires when at least one $e event in the 1h window.

Events

$e

  • security_result.detection_fields["slgtc_1"] matches "^SE37$|^SE80$|^SEU_INT$"
  • principal.process.file.names = "RS_TESTFRAME_CALL"

Correlation

Match key
$user
Within
1h

Outcome

Fields the detection emits on a match. $risk_score drives alerting; Chronicle surfaces the rest on the detection.
