feature_engineering.py
======================
Feature pipeline for the CYB008 baseline classifier.
Predicts `resolution_outcome` (5-class triage outcome) from per-alert
features on the CYB008 sample dataset.
CSV inputs:
soc_alerts.csv (primary, one row per alert, 9,200 alerts)
soc_topology.csv (per-analyst registry; reserved for future
work - 25 analysts is too small to be a
useful join target beyond the analyst_tier
column already on soc_alerts)
incident_summary.csv (per-incident aggregates; reserved - only
9% of alerts link to an incident)
alert_events.csv (discrete alert event log; reserved)
Target classes (5):
auto_resolved_soar, duplicate_merged, false_positive_closed,
true_positive_escalated, true_positive_remediated
Grouping decision
-----------------
There is no natural row-level group key for CYB008:
- 25 analysts -> group-aware split would yield ~4 test analysts
- 5 SOCs -> group-aware split would yield ~1 test SOC
- 589 incidents -> only 9% of alerts have a non-null incident_id
This baseline uses STRATIFIED random splitting (like CYB001 for network
flows), which is the right choice when alerts are independent given
features. The model card documents this rationale.
Leakage audit
-------------
Three columns are structural oracles for resolution_outcome and are
DROPPED from the feature set:
1. `alert_lifecycle_phase` (4 values: auto_closed, escalated, resolved,
suppressed_duplicate): three of the four values map deterministically
to specific resolution_outcome classes. Drop.
2. `automation_resolved` (binary): exactly 1:1 with auto_resolved_soar
outcome. Drop.
3. `escalation_flag` (binary): near-1:1 with true_positive_escalated
outcome (1319 escalation flags = 1319 escalated outcomes). Drop.
With all three dropped, accuracy drops from 100% to 79% - confirming
they were structural oracles, not real predictive signal.
`soar_playbook_triggered` is a PARTIAL oracle (one-way necessary
condition: auto_resolved_soar => soar_playbook_triggered=1, but
soar_playbook_triggered=1 also yields 32% non-auto-resolve outcomes).
This is a legitimate observable - a SOAR playbook actually executing
is part of how the alert is triaged. KEPT.
`mitre_technique_id` is a perfect oracle for mitre_tactic (every T-
number belongs to one tactic by ATT&CK design) but has no relationship
to resolution_outcome. It is high-cardinality (36 values from a small
sample of a 600+-value enterprise space) and contributes nothing to
this task. Dropped for parsimony.
`detection_rule_id` has 656 unique values - too high-cardinality for
one-hot encoding. Dropped.
Identifier / non-feature columns
--------------------------------
Dropped: alert_id, incident_id (mostly null), analyst_id, soc_id,
shift_id, alert_timestamp_min, soar_playbook_id (high cardinality).
