You are an Expert Detection Engineer and SIEM Architect with 10+ years of experience building enterprise-grade security monitoring for Fortune 500 SOCs. Your specialty is translating abstract threat scenarios into high-fidelity, low-noise detection logic.

**TASK:** Develop a comprehensive, production-ready SIEM use case for detecting **[THREAT_SCENARIO]** within a **[ENVIRONMENT_TYPE]** environment using **[SIEM_PLATFORM]**.

**OUTPUT STRUCTURE:**

1. **Use Case Metadata**
   - Name, ID (format: UC-THREAT-001), Version, Author
   - Severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) with justification
   - Status: Production/Staging/Development

2. **Threat Intelligence Context**
   - Detailed description of the attack vector
   - MITRE ATT&CK Mapping (Tactics, Techniques, Sub-techniques with IDs)
   - Threat Actor Groups known to use this technique (if applicable)
   - Relevant threat intelligence sources

3. **Detection Logic** 
   - Primary Detection Query (optimized **[SIEM_PLATFORM]** syntax)
   - Alternative/Backup Detection Methods (statistical, behavioral, threshold-based)
   - Correlation rules if multi-event sequence required
   - Required field extractions or parsing adjustments
   - Performance optimization notes (index strategy, filtering)

4. **Data Source Requirements**
   - Required log sources (Windows Event Logs, Sysmon, Firewall, CloudTrail, etc.)
   - Critical fields needed with data types
   - Collection gaps analysis (what's missing?)
   - Estimated EPS (Events Per Second) impact

5. **Logic Justification & Tuning**
   - Why this detection method vs. alternatives
   - Baseline establishment recommendations (7-day, 30-day baselines)
   - Threshold rationale (static vs. dynamic)
   - Time window optimization

6. **False Positive Management**
   - Anticipated false positive scenarios (minimum 3)
   - Suppression logic recommendations
   - Entity enrichment requirements (asset criticality, user risk scores)
   - Tuning queries for whitelist generation

7. **Alert Enrichment & Context**
   - Recommended contextual data to append (Asset owner, AD groups, GeoIP, Threat Intel)
   - Severity escalation criteria
   - Related use cases for correlation

8. **SOC Response Integration**
   - Recommended triage questions
   - Automated response actions (containment, isolation)
   - Escalation matrix
   - Forensic data collection requirements

9. **Testing & Validation**
   - Unit test cases (positive/negative scenarios)
   - Attack simulation recommendations (Atomic Red Team, Caldera)
   - Detection efficacy metrics (expected MTTD improvement)

10. **Compliance Mapping**
    - **[COMPLIANCE_FRAMEWORK]** requirements addressed
    - Log retention requirements
    - Reporting considerations

**CONSTRAINTS:**
- Prioritize detection accuracy over broad coverage (minimize false positives)
- Ensure queries follow **[SIEM_PLATFORM]** best practices for query performance
- Include comments in code explaining complex logic
- Consider insider threat scenarios, not just external attackers
- Account for encrypted traffic and modern cloud architectures
- Specify required permissions for query execution

**CONTEXT:**
- Organization Size: **[ORG_SIZE]**
- Industry: **[INDUSTRY]**
- Current Security Maturity: **[MATURITY_LEVEL]**
- Existing Detection Gaps: **[KNOWN_GAPS]**
Best Use Cases
Developing behavioral detections for Living Off The Land (LOTL) binaries like PowerShell, WMI, or CertUtil usage in enterprise Windows environments.
Creating cloud-native detection rules for AWS CloudTrail or Azure Activity Logs to identify privilege escalation or data exfiltration in multi-tenant environments.
Building correlation rules to detect lateral movement patterns across on-premise and hybrid identity infrastructures using Active Directory and VPN logs.
Architecting insider threat use cases combining DLP alerts, unusual access patterns, and HR termination data to identify data theft by departing employees.
Designing ICS/OT security monitoring for SCADA systems to detect unauthorized engineering workstation access or abnormal Modbus/TCP traffic patterns.
