1. In the report section of the Rules Explorer page, select the relevant rule. Tip

   Filter on the rule name, tactic, or technique to find the rule you want to edit or search by using a regular expression. You can also use the Group filter to select the group you want to search, such as authentication or compliance.

2. On the Investigate rules page, click the pencil icon in the MITRE ATT&CK section.
3. On the MITRE ATT&CK Mapping page, customize rule-mapping options by either adding new tactics or editing existing ones.Tip

   The MITRE ATT&CK Mapping page shows only the mappings that are directly related to a rule. You can see mappings that the rule inherited from its dependencies in the rule details section of the Investigate rules page or in the Rules Explorer report. Use the Mapping source column in the report, or in the MIITRE ATT&CK section of the rule details page, to see the relationships between the rules and their mappings. Or, if you create content extensions for the IBM Security App Exchange, and you want to map rules in them, export the mappings and upload them when you submit your content.
