Log sources and channels
Exactly as MITRE states them in x_mitre_log_source_references. Where a channel is vague, it is vague in the source; kevmap does not tidy it.
| Log source | Channel | Data component |
|---|---|---|
| AWS:CloudTrail | AuthorizeSecurityGroupIngress | DC0051 Firewall Rule Modification |
| AWS:VPCFlowLogs | Unusual volume of inbound packets from single source across short time interval | DC0078 Network Traffic Flow |
| AWS:CloudWatch | Sustained spike in CPU usage on EC2 instance with web service role | DC0018 Host Status |
Mutable elements
Parameters MITRE marks as environment-specific. These are the knobs you are expected to tune; they are why an analytic is not a rule.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
VPCFlowBurstRate | Threshold for traffic burst on target service port |
EC2CPUThreshold | Compute saturation level for alerting (e.g., >90% for 3 minutes) |
