Lab 20 — Design an RBA Pipeline

The modern paradigm — accumulate small risks into one notable

LAB PROGRESS0/4 steps · 0%

Lab Objectives

  • Understand why static rules fail and RBA wins
  • Design a risk pipeline (factors, modifiers, thresholds)
  • Build a risk notable (sum of risk > threshold)
  • Tune to reduce false positives 10×

Lab Instructions

  1. 1
    Open Splunk ES → Security Intelligence → Risk Analysis.
  2. 2
    Identify the top 5 risk objects.
  3. 3
    List 3 contributing risk searches per object.
  4. 4
    Recommend score adjustments and a final notable threshold.

// Sum risks per entity; surface the noisy ones.
