+description: this search is to detect execution of `cipher.exe` to clear the unallocated
+  sectors of a specific disk. This technique was seen in some ransomware to make it
+  impossible to forensically recover deleted files.
+search: '| from read_ssa_enriched_events() | eval timestamp=parse_long(ucast(map_get(input_event,
+  "_time"), "string", null)), cmd_line=lower(ucast(map_get(input_event, "process"),

+how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
+  on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
+  your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node.
