What happened and what to do
In an October 5, 2026 article, Elastic Security Labs explains how it classifies preconfigured Elastic SIEM rules by noise, performance, threat, and recommended profile. Of the more than 2,100 rules cited, 385 have the Recommended profile, 296 are Aggressive, and 62% have no profile. A monthly pipeline uses 30 days of telemetry, alert volume and distribution, execution metrics, and rule metadata; classification is deterministic, with language models used only as a fallback in some threat-classification cases. The pipeline proposes changes in a pull request, which the team reviews before integration.
A company can apply this approach to its own environment: collect alert and execution metrics by rule, track changes over time, and define transparent criteria for prioritizing activations. An automated workflow can suggest changes for human review, reducing the risk of enabling noisy or costly rules without operational context.
