SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns ambiguous security alerts into consistent, framework-mapped triage decisions so SOC analysts can quickly determine true positives versus false positives and what to do next.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Four-phase triage workflow: Collect, correlate, classify, and escalate using a repeatable checklist.
  • Framework grounding: Maps investigation guidance to MITRE ATT&CK v16 and NIST SP 800-61 Rev 2 to improve auditable decision quality.
  • Actionable disposition output: Produces alert disposition (TP/BTP/FP), priority (P1–P4), confidence, and escalation recommendations.
  • Use case: When your SIEM/EDR generates an alert and you need to answer “Is this a true positive?” while capturing evidence and rationale for tuning or escalation.

Quick Start

Use the alert-triage skill to triage a newly received alert by providing the alert payload and an alert identifier such as "CVE-ID-or-alert-ID" as context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage security alerts to determine if they are true positives or false positives?

Security alert triage involves collecting evidence, correlating related activity, and classifying dispositions to determine true positive versus false positive. Structured workflows map investigations to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST SP 800-61 for auditable decision quality.

What is the best way to prioritize a SOC alert queue using MITRE ATT&CK?

Prioritizing a SOC alert queue requires correlating alert activity and classifying priority levels from P1 to P4. Mapping investigation guidance to MITRE ATT&CK v16 ensures consistent escalation recommendations and structured triage outcomes.

How do I classify a benign true positive versus a false positive during incident triage?

Classifying a benign true positive versus a false positive requires collecting evidence and correlating related activity during incident triage. A four-phase methodology produces clear TP, BTP, or FP dispositions with confidence levels.

Does this alert triage process follow NIST SP 800-61 Rev 2 incident handling guidelines?

Yes, the alert triage process follows NIST SP 800-61 Rev 2 incident handling guidelines. It applies a four-phase methodology to collect, correlate, classify, and escalate security alerts while producing auditable disposition and priority outputs.

How do I escalate security alerts with priority guidance?

Escalating security alerts with priority guidance requires classifying disposition and assigning P1 to P4 priority levels. The escalation phase produces actionable recommendations while observing prompt-injection and data-handling constraints.

What are the limitations of automated security alert triage?

Automated security alert triage limitations include prompt-injection and data-handling constraints that require observation. Analysts must provide alert payloads and identifiers while the system maps evidence to MITRE ATT&CK and NIST frameworks.
