| Analytics BIOC | RDP connections enabled remotely via Registry An attacker may remotely enable RDP connections to a machine by setting the fDenyTSConnections Registry key to 0. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent with eXtended Threat Hunting (XTH) | Lateral Movement |
| BIOC | RDP connections enabled via Registry by unsigned process An attacker may enable RDP connections to a machine by setting the fDenyTSConnections Registry key to 0. | Low | Platform Analytics | Registry | Lateral Movement |
| Analytics BIOC | RDP from an unmanaged endpoint in a typically managed subnet An RDP connection was established from an unmanaged endpoint in a typically managed subnet, indicating a possible lateral movement. | Low | Platform Analytics | Palo Alto Networks Firewall traffic Logs, XDR Agent | Lateral Movement |
| Analytics BIOC | Remote DCOM command execution A remotely triggered DCOM initiated a command execution by a host that rarely executes processes using DCOM to other remote hosts. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Lateral Movement |
| Analytics BIOC | Remote service start from an uncommon source A remotely triggered service initiated by a host that rarely triggers services to other remote hosts. | Low | Platform Analytics | XDR Agent | Lateral Movement, Execution |
