Explanation

Rule-based detection involves using predefined rules or signatures to identify known patterns of malicious behavior. These rules are created based on known attack methods, vulnerabilities, and indicators of compromise. For example, a rule-based detection system may search for specific keywords or patterns in network traffic or monitor for specific types of file extensions being downloaded. If the system identifies a match with any of these predefined rules, it triggers an alert or takes appropriate action.
