+This rule detects the execution of kubectl commands that are commonly used for workload and cluster
+discovery in Kubernetes environments. It looks for process events where kubectl is executed with
+arguments that query cluster information, such as namespaces, nodes, pods, deployments, and other
+resources. In environments where kubectl is not expected to be used, this could indicate potential
+reconnaissance activity by an adversary.
