SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenTide Detection Rule (MDR) standardizes the creation of deployable detection rules that run on specific platforms and carry integrated response metadata to guide analysts when triggered. It unifies schema, DOM linkage, and per-platform configurations to prevent ad-hoc or inconsistent rule development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured YAML metadata: name, description, detection_model, and platform-specific configurations.
  • Per-platform configurations for Sentinel, Defender for Endpoint, Splunk, CBC, and more, enabling multi-target deployments from a single manifest.
  • Rich response metadata and containment guidance to streamline incident response and reduce mean time to triage.

Quick Start

Define an MDR YAML manifest with name, description, detection_model, and per-platform configurations, then upload it to CoreTide for activation.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create MDR detection rules that deploy across multiple security platforms?

Create MDR detection rules by defining a single YAML manifest with platform-specific configurations for Sentinel, Splunk, or Carbon Black Cloud. This approach drives multiple backend deployments from one structured file.

Can I use a single YAML manifest to configure detections for both Splunk and Microsoft Defender?

Yes, you can use a single YAML manifest to configure detections for Splunk and Defender for Endpoint. The manifest includes per-platform configuration blocks to enable multi-target deployments across these security operations platforms.

What metadata is required to build a valid MDR detection rule?

A valid MDR detection rule requires a specific schema version like mdr::2.1, a detection_model UUID, per-platform configuration blocks, plus description, metadata, and response sections. These elements ensure structured and deployable rule creation.

How does MDR detection rule standardization improve incident response?

MDR detection rule standardization improves incident response by integrating rich response metadata and containment guidance directly into the rule. This streamlines analyst triage and reduces mean time to respond when detections trigger.

Does the MDR schema support deployment to HarfangLab and Carbon Black Cloud?

Yes, the MDR schema supports deployment to HarfangLab and Carbon Black Cloud. It provides per-platform configurations enabling a single manifest to drive multiple backends across these security operations platforms.

Why do my ad-hoc detection rules lack consistent response guidance for analysts?

Ad-hoc detection rules lack consistent response guidance because they bypass standardized schema and DOM linkage. Using a structured MDR manifest unifies per-platform configurations and embeds response metadata to guide analysts during incidents.
