Suspicious Process Masquerading As SvcHost.EXE (via process_creation)
This rule detects an anomalous process that is masquerading as the legitimate "svchost.exe" by naming its binary "svchost.exe" and running from an uncommon location. Adversaries frequently disguise their hostile binaries by naming them after legitimate system processes like "svchost.exe" to evade detection.
