mukul975 efca3ec611 feat: add NIST CSF 2.0 nist_csf field to all 754 cybersecurity skills
Mapped every skill to NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory IDs (GV/ID/PR/DE/RS/RC functions)
based on subdomain and content analysis. Restores 11 skills corrupted during
prior rebase, re-enriching with ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and CSF 2.0 fields.

All 754 skills now carry structured mappings for all 5 security frameworks:
- MITRE ATT&CK (in tags)
- MITRE ATLAS v5.5 (atlas_techniques)
- MITRE D3FEND v1.3 (d3fend_techniques)
- NIST AI RMF 1.0 (nist_ai_rmf)
- NIST CSF 2.0 (nist_csf)

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.
