[exodusubuntu-tech]

Automated fix by REAPR

Fixes: #1578

What Changed

Addresses #1578: [REVIEW] detection-engineering: add data-source health and telemetry drift evidence gates

Why

This change addresses the issue by applying the smallest possible fix that resolves the root cause.

Testing

• Code compiles/parses without errors
• Changes are minimal and focused on the reported issue
• Follows existing code style and patterns

Risk Assessment

• Low risk: minimal surface area change
• No breaking changes to public API

 - **ATT&CK coverage gap analysis** -- The team is evaluating which MITRE ATT&CK techniques have detection rules and which do not.
 - **Detection rule authoring** -- A new Sigma rule needs to be written for a specific technique, log source, or behavioral pattern.
 - **Detection-as-code pipeline** -- Detection rules are being managed in version control and need to follow a standardized format for CI/CD integration.
-- **Post-incident detection improvement** -- After an incident or purple team exercise, new detections must be created for techniques that were not caught.
-- **Detection rule review** -- Existing rules need validation against current ATT&CK mappings, log source availability, or Sigma specification compliance.
-
-**Do not use when:** The task is triaging an active alert (use alert-triage), writing SIEM-specific query syntax without Sigma abstraction (use siem-rules), or performing incident response forensics (use ir-playbook).

-## 2. Context the Agent Needs
-
-Before beginning, gather or confirm:
-
-- [ ] **Target ATT&CK technique(s):** The specific technique or sub-technique IDs to detect (e.g., T1059.001 -- PowerShell).
-- [ ] **Available log sources:** What telemetry is collected? (Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, EDR, cloud audit logs, proxy logs, DNS logs, firewall logs).
-- [ ] **SIEM platform(s):** Target SIEM for rule deployment (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic, Chronicle, QRadar) -- determines Sigma backend conversion target.
-- [ ] **Environment context:** Operating systems, domain structure, cloud providers, key applications in the environment.
-- [ ] **Existing detection coverage:** Current rules, known gaps, previous false positive history for similar detections.
-- [ ] **Detection priority:** Is this for a known active threat, proactive coverage expansion, or compliance requirement?
-- [ ] **Organizational naming conventions:** Rule ID format, severity taxonomy, and tagging standards used by the detection engineering team.
-
-If the ATT&CK technique is provided but other context is missing, proceed with conservative assumptions (Windows enterprise environment, Sysmon + Windows Security logs available) and note assumptions in the output.

-## 3. Process
-
-### Step 1: ATT&CK Technique Analysis
-
-Decompose the target ATT&CK technique to understand what must be detected.
-
-1. Identify the tactic(s) the technique serves (e.g., T1059.001 serves Execution -- TA0002)
-2. Review the technique's procedure examples to understand real-world usage patterns
-3. Identify the data sources and data components ATT&CK maps to this technique (e.g., Process Creation, Command Execution, Script Execution)
-4. Determine which log sources in the environment provide the required data components
-5. Identify sub-techniques and determine if the detection should cover the parent technique broadly or target a specific sub-technique
-

-ATT&CK Technique Analysis:
-- Technique ID:       [T1059.001]
-- Technique Name:     [Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell]
-- Tactic(s):          [Execution (TA0002)]
-- Data Sources:       [Process (Process Creation), Command (Command Execution), Script (Script Execution)]
-- Required Log Sources: [Sysmon EventID 1, Windows Security 4688, PowerShell 4104/4103]
