+This rule leverages the "new_terms" rule type to detect unusual command executions originating from web server processes on Linux systems.
+Attackers may exploit web servers to maintain persistence on a compromised system, often resulting in atypical command executions. As
+command execution from web server parent processes is common, the "new_terms" rule type approach helps to identify deviations from normal
+behavior.
