The goal is the intended purpose of the alert. It is a simple, plaintext description of the type of behavior you're attempting to detect in your ADS. The categorization is a mapping of the ADS to the relevant entry in the MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK) Framework. ATT&CK provides a language for various post-exploitation techniques and strategies that adversaries might use. Mapping to the ATT&CK framework allows for further investigation into the technique, provides a reference to the areas of the killchain where the ADS will be used, and can further drive insight and metrics into alerting gaps. In our environment, we have a knowledge base which maps all of our ADS to individual components of the MITRE ATT&CK framework. When generating a hypothesis for a new alert, an engineer can simply review where we are strongest — or weakest — according to individual ATT&CK techniques. When selecting a MITRE ATT&CK category, please select both the parent and chi
