mukul975 cb8d79e068 Map all 754 skills to MITRE ATT&CK v19.1
- Add validated mitre_attack frontmatter to all 754 skills (286 distinct
  techniques), verified against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 via the official
  mitreattack-python library: 0 revoked, deprecated, or invalid IDs
- Curate precise per-skill technique IDs for forensics, malware-analysis,
  threat-intel, and red-team skills (e.g. DCSync -> T1003.006,
  Kerberoasting -> T1558.003, Pass-the-Ticket -> T1550.003)
- Reconcile v19.1 tactic restructuring: Defense Evasion split into
  Stealth (TA0005) and Defense Impairment (TA0112); revoked T1562.*
  family and T1070.001/.002 remapped to active equivalents (T1685.*)
- Normalize word-split tags across 35 skills (remove filename-derived
  stopword tags, add semantic cybersecurity tags)
- Add api-reference.md for 3 skills that were missing it
- Update README ATT&CK section with accurate v19.1 tactic distribution

Implementing SIEM Use Case Tuning

Overview

SIEM use case tuning reduces alert fatigue by systematically analyzing detection rules for false positive rates, adjusting thresholds based on environmental baselines, creating context-aware whitelists, and measuring detection efficacy through precision/recall metrics. This skill covers tuning workflows for Splunk correlation searches and Elastic detection rules, including statistical baselining, exclusion list management, and alert-to-incident conversion tracking.

When to Use

  • When deploying or configuring implementing siem use case tuning capabilities in your environment
  • When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
  • When building or improving security architecture for this domain
  • When conducting security assessments that require this implementation

Prerequisites

  • Splunk Enterprise/Cloud with ES or Elastic SIEM with detection rules enabled
  • Historical alert data (minimum 30 days) for baseline analysis
  • Python 3.8+ with requests library
  • SIEM admin credentials or API tokens

Steps

  1. Export current alert volumes per detection rule from SIEM
  2. Calculate false positive rate per rule using analyst disposition data
  3. Identify top noise-generating rules by volume and FP rate
  4. Build environmental baselines for thresholds (e.g., login counts, process spawns)
  5. Create whitelist entries for known-good entities (service accounts, scanners)
  6. Adjust rule thresholds using statistical analysis (mean + N standard deviations)
  7. Measure tuning impact via before/after precision and alert-to-incident ratio

Expected Output

JSON report with per-rule tuning recommendations including current FP rate, suggested threshold adjustments, whitelist entries, and projected alert reduction percentages.
