Tune for evidence, not alert volume
Evaluate endpoint telemetry by mapping detections to attacker techniques and required evidence.
The move: judge endpoint detections by evidence coverage. MITRE ATT&CK is useful because it separates attacker goals from attacker methods. Tactics describe the goal, such as execution or persistence. Techniques describe the method, such as command interpreters or scheduled tasks. Endpoint telemetry becomes stronger when it can support both. Start with the claim. If a rule says "possible credential theft," the evidence should include more than a suspicious process name.
