## What it is
A repository of Splunk security detections, Analytic Stories, and SOAR playbooks maintained by the Splunk Threat Research Team, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, the Cyber Kill Chain, and CIS Controls. It provides pre-built searches, machine-learning algorithms, and response playbooks for detecting, investigating, and responding to threats in Splunk environments.

## Use cases
- find pre-built Splunk detections for MITRE ATT&CK techniques
- build a SOC detection library without writing searches from scratch
- map my detection coverage across the MITRE ATT&CK framework
- get automated response playbooks for common threats
- research TTPs and detection strategies for emerging threats
- integrate threat research content into Splunk Enterprise Security
- test detections against simulated attack data

## When to choose
- you run Splunk (Enterprise Security, Essentials, or core) and want curated, maintained detections
- you need MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detection coverage with analytic stories and playbooks
- you want vendor-maintained security content updated with the latest threat research

## When to avoid
- you use a SIEM other than Splunk and cannot translate SPL queries
- you need a detection engine or runtime rather than content (rules/queries)
- you want a general-purpose threat intelligence feed rather than detection content

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: security, monitoring, alerting, ci-cd
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: detection-engineering, mitre-attack, siem, splunk, analytic-stories, soc, threat-hunting, soar-playbooks, automation
