eG Monitoring

Measures reported by ScrtySuspPrcsChcksTest Some process are not commonly seen and are only used by malicious software. These processes are called suspicious processes. Often, to gain entry into the target host, malware will try to mask itself by imitating legitimate Windows system processes. These suspicious processes pose a potential security threat because they may steal valuable data or encrypt files and also can drain resources leading to slowing down computers. Thus, it is very essential to identify the suspicious processes before it takes control over the system. The ScrtySuspPrcsChcksTest test monitors all the processes ,isolates the process patterns that are configured as suspicious processes and reports the number of suspicious processes. Any unusual increase in the number of suspicious processes clearly indicates malicious activity. Therefore, by using this test, administrators are promptly alerted to any sudden increase in the number of suspicious processes. This will help proactively detect and resolve any suspicious activity before it becomes a potential security risk.. The detailed diagnosis offered by this test helps administrators to find more details of the process such as the process name, identified time, and process ID. Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Windows host being monitored. The measures made by this test are as follows:
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation
--- | --- | --- | ---
mlcsPrcss | Indicates the number of suspicious process during the last measurement period. | Number | Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to identify the process name, identified time, Process ID, and Image path with arguments.
