| 10 | +description: The following analytic is to leverage alerts from CrowdStrike Falcon Event Stream. This query aggregates and summarizes DetectionSummaryEvent and IdpDetectionSummaryEvent alerts from CrowdStrike Falcon Event Stream, providing details such as destination, user, severity, MITRE information, and Crowdstrike id and links. The evals in the search do multiple things to include align the severity, ensure the user, dest, title, description, MITRE fields are set properly, and the drilldowns are defined based on the type of alert. The search is highly dynamic to account for different alert types in which some fields may or may not be populated. Having all these fields properly set ensure the appropriate risk and analyst queue fields are correctly populated. |

| 38 | +how_to_implement: In order to properly run this search, you need to ingest alerts data from CrowdStrike Event Stream, specifcally using the CrowdStrike Falcon Event Streams Technical Add-On. This add-on will collect alerts using the CrowdStrike:Event:Streams:JSON sourcetype. You will need to define the `crowdstrike_stream` macro to point to the proper index that contains the CrowdStrike:Event:Streams:JSON sourcetype. |
| 39 | +known_false_positives: False positives may vary based on Crowdstrike configuration; monitor and filter out the alerts that are not relevant to your environment. |

| 89 | + manual_test: We are dynamically creating the risk_score field based on the severity of the alert in the SPL and that supersedes the risk score set in the detection. Setting this detection to manual test since otherwise we fail integration testing. This detection is also based on the mitre_attack_lookup lookup table which is not available in the ESCU app |
