  • Q: How does the 'Magma' framework facilitate 'Use Case' management?
    A: By mapping high-level business drivers (e.g., protect IP) to specific threat scenarios and the technical rules required to detect them.
  • Q: What is the operational value of the 'Detection Gap' metric?
    A: It quantifies the difference between the threats the organization *wants* to detect and what it *can* currently detect, guiding budget and engineering priorities.
  • Q: How does the tool categorize 'L1 Use Cases'?
    A: They represent broad threat categories (e.g., Malware, Intrusion) that align with business risks.
  • Q: What is the relationship between 'L2' and 'L3' use cases?
    A: L2 describes the specific threat activity (e.g., Phishing), while L3 describes the technical implementation (e.g., Outlook rule for suspicious subjects).
  • Q: How does mapping use cases to 'MITRE ATT&CK' enhance SOC maturity?
    A: It allows the SOC to visualize coverage against known adversary tactics and techniques, identifying blind spots.
  • Q: What is the purpose of the 'Business Drivers' tab?
    A: To force the SOC to justify every detection rule based on a specific business risk or compliance requirement, preventing 'alert bloat'.
  • Q: How can the tool be used for 'Log Source' prioritization?
    A: By identifying which log sources are required for the highest-value use cases, optimizing data ingestion costs.
  • Q: What is the 'Effectiveness' metric in the tool?
    A: A qualitative measure of how well a specific rule detects the intended threat without excessive false positives.
  • Q: How does the 'Implementation' status track SOC progress?
    A: It provides a clear view of the engineering backlog, showing which use cases are defined, in testing, or fully operational.
  • Q: What is the strategic benefit of the 'Visualizations' provided by the tool?
    A: They allow SOC managers to communicate coverage and gaps to non-technical stakeholders using business-aligned categories.
