Paste the ATT&CK technique IDs you have Sigma/YARA rules for (one per line, e.g. T1059, T1190). The controls below will update to show YOUR coverage instead of ours.

Red team insight A nist-800-53 compliant org should have detection for the green-tagged techniques below. Controls showing no technique coverage are likely blind spots. Use gaps view to enumerate unmonitored attack paths.
