What it detects

This rule detects ProcDump being used to create a full memory dump of the LSASS process, a credential access technique observed in the Agrius MoneyBird intrusions against Israeli organizations. Adversaries dump LSASS to harvest cached credentials and enable lateral movement, so this activity strongly indicates hands-on-keyboard compromise.
