uberAgent ESA ships with Threat Detection rules derived from Sigma signatures. These rules are grouped by severity: critical, high, medium, and low.

By their nature, Sigma rules are pretty dynamic and may change quickly. Our Sigma rule coverage explorer web app lets you browse and explore which Sigma rules are supported in which uberAgent version – and why. See below for instructions on how to convert Sigma rules yourself with our Sigma converter.
