+or cover their tracks by reverting an instance to a previous state. This is a [building block
+rule](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/building-block-rule.html) and does not generate alerts on
+its own. It is meant to be used for correlation with other rules to detect suspicious activity. To generate alerts, create a
