This session will show you how to solve the classic security operations challenge of turning billions of events into actionable cases. The key is a "detection as code" mindset, which focuses on structuring detections with the modularity and reusability of software engineering rather than on specific tools.
Learn to separate detection from alerting to solve the traditional trade-off between recall and precision. This powerful two-layer approach uses simple rules for high recall, while composite rules analyze and cluster those initial outputs to provide high precision. The result is a more effective, maintainable, and scalable detection system.
What You Will Learn:
- To Adopt a "Detection as Code" Mindset: Go beyond tools to treat detection content like software, building it with reusable, modular components that are easier to manage and improve.
- The Principle of Separating Detection from Alerting: Understand how to create a base layer of high-recall rules and a second layer of high-precision composite rules to eliminate noise.
- Why to Avoid Complex "Mega Rules": Learn why traditional rules that try to do everything at once become brittle and how a modular approach improves flexibility and team efficiency.
- How to Achieve Better Results Through Aggregation: Discover how composite detections act as a correlation layer, clustering events to generate high-fidelity alerts with the context analysts need to act decisively.
