IBM Storage Insights Data Collector

IBM creates WMI false positives

The data collector periodically runs a command like: cmd.exe /c wmic process call create C:...\datacollectorbin\collectorSrvWatchDog.bat`.

This may trigger detection rules geared towards T1047: Windows Management Instrumentation which look for wmic.exe being used to covertly spawn processes.
