Summary
The detection rule titled 'Windows Modify Registry Disable Windows Security Center Notif' aims to identify potentially malicious modifications to the Windows registry that disable notifications from Windows Security Center. It specifically monitors changes to the registry key path '*\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\UseActionCenterExperience*', where malicious actors may set its value to '0x00000000'. This type of modification can hinder the effectiveness of system defenses by suppressing vital alerts about necessary updates and security actions. The analytic primarily utilizes Sysmon Event IDs 12 and 13 for monitoring registry changes, indicating that the detection focuses on incidents that may stem from malware infections such as Azorult, which are typically designed to evade security measures. If this rule triggers an alert, it may signal an attempt to persistently compromise a system and avoid detection by altering crucial security settings.
