| Analytics BIOC | Contained process execution with a rare GitHub URL A contained process was executed with a suspicious GitHub url in the command line. This may be a legitimate use, but this technique is frequently used by attackers to download malicious payloads. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Globally uncommon process execution from a signed process A signed process has executed a process that, on a global level, it usually doesn't execute. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution |

| Analytics BIOC | Microsoft Office process spawns a commonly abused process Microsoft Office process spawns a commonly abused process with an uncommon command. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Initial Access |
| BIOC | Microsoft Office process spawns a commonly abused process Common weaponized office document behavior. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Execution |
| BIOC | Microsoft Office process spawns an unsigned process Common weaponized office document behavior. | Informational | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Microsoft Office process spawns conhost.exe This unusual parent-child relationship may indicate that a Microsoft Office application executed a console-based application. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Initial Access |
| Analytics | Multiple alerts of different MITRE tactics were seen Multiple alerts of different MITRE tactics were seen on the same host under the same causality. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Platform Alerts, Third-Party Alerts | Execution |
| Analytics | Multiple network-related alerts of different MITRE tactics on the same host Multiple alerts of different MITRE tactics were seen on the same host. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Platform Alerts, Third-Party Alerts | Execution |
| Analytics | Multiple network-related alerts produced by different detectors on the same host Multiple alerts produced by different detectors were seen on the same host. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Platform Alerts, Third-Party Alerts | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Office process accessed an unusual .LNK file An attacker may embed a .LNK file in an Office document to execute malicious code. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Execution, Persistence |
| BIOC | Office process writes an executable file to disk An executable file was written by a Microsoft Office application to disk. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Possible compromised machine account A Kerberos TGT for machine account has been used and does not match the hostname. | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution |
| BIOC | Process runs with a double extension Look for executables with a common double extension. These are often used to disguise malware as some form of user content. | Medium | Platform Analytics | Process execution | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Rare Unsigned Process Spawned by Office Process Under Suspicious Directory Microsoft Office executed an unsigned process in a suspicious directory. This behavior is common with malicious macros. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution |
| BIOC | Simulation activity by AttackIQ Simulation activity performed by AttackIQ agent. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Execution, Resource Development |
| BIOC | Simulation activity by Cymulate Simulation activity performed by Cymulate agent. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Execution, Resource Development |
| BIOC | Simulation activity by SafeBreach Simulation activity performed by a SafeBreach agent. | Informational | Platform Analytics | File | Execution, Resource Development |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious docker image download from an unusual repository The agent has pulled a docker image from a repository for the first time. | Informational | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution |
| Analytics BIOC | Suspicious SearchProtocolHost.exe parent process SearchProtocolHost.exe has been launched from a process that is different from SearchIndexer.exe This may indicate malicious activity (such as malware later being injected to it, or it being used for phantom DLL hijacking). | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Defense Evasion |
| Analytics BIOC | Uncommon DLL-sideloading from a logical CD-ROM (ISO) device A DLL was loaded by an executable from the same folder on a logical CD-ROM device (ISO). | Medium | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Execution, Defense Evasion, Privilege Escalation |
