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 | CreateAccessKey, ImportKeyPair, CreateLoginProfile, CreateKeyPair | DC0087 Active Directory Object Creation |
| gcp:audit | iam.serviceAccounts.keys.create, os-login.sshPublicKeys.add | DC0010 User Account Modification |
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 |
|---|---|
CallerIdentityContext | Track root, federated identities, and STS tokens separately. |
NewCredentialUsageWindow | Time between key creation and first use (default: 5 min). |
IAMRoleBaseline | Expected services/accounts allowed to create keys. |
