- Logic errors in KQL detection rules that create false negatives (evasion opportunities)
- Detection rules that could cause operational harm if deployed (e.g., overly broad queries that could match normal traffic and cause alert fatigue leading to SOC desensitization)
- Hardcoded sensitive values accidentally committed
- Documentation that contains incorrect security guidance
- General feedback on detection logic (please open a GitHub Issue)
- Feature requests (please open a GitHub Issue)
- Issues with your own Microsoft Sentinel deployment
- Test in a non-production Sentinel workspace before deploying to production
- Review and tune all threshold variables before deployment — defaults are starting points, not production values
- Validate allowlists against your environment — the default allowlists may not match your organization
- Monitor alert volume after enabling rules — adjust thresholds if alert fatigue occurs
- Keep detection rules updated — MITRE ATT&CK techniques evolve, and rules should be reviewed quarterly
