Samirbous 170ef2bdf2 [New] Detection Alert on a Process Exhibiting CPU Spike (#5617)
* [New] Detection Alert on a Process Exhibiting CPU Spike

This rule correlates security alerts with processes exhibiting unusually high CPU utilization on the same host and process ID within a short time window. This behavior may indicate malicious activity such as malware execution, cryptomining, exploit payload execution, or abuse of system resources following initial compromise.

* Update securityt_alert_from_a_process_with_cpu_spike.toml

* Update securityt_alert_from_a_process_with_cpu_spike.toml

* Update rules/cross-platform/securityt_alert_from_a_process_with_cpu_spike.toml
