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 |
|---|---|---|
| azure:audit | Add user | DC0014 User Account Creation |
| azure:audit | Rename user | DC0010 User Account Modification |
| saas:okta | User lifecycle events | DC0013 User Account Metadata |
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 |
|---|---|
RoleScope | Whether created users have privileged or scoped roles assigned at creation. |
NamingHeuristics | Regex patterns or heuristics for detecting suspicious naming conventions (e.g., helpdesk_support_, root-admin). |
