#S03EP03 DevOpsification of Threat Detection Development | Wasim Halani

Wasim Halani Season 3 Episode 3

Learn to DevOpsify your Threat Detection Development!

Guest: Wasim Halani, Director - Detection Engineering at Securonix

SOC teams face a continuous challenge of evolving threats and a difficulty in developing #analytics to detect such #threats. Recent times have seen the Detection Engineering function evolve along the lines of Software Engineering - which means the Agile and DevOps methodologies also apply to new detections being developed and deployed. 

Continuous development, continuous testing and continuous deployment are part of the game.
In this episode, we dive into the challenges faced by traditional #SOC teams in building effective threat detections, explore why threat detection is inherently difficult, and discuss how #DevOps principles can enhance this process. We also cover the groundwork for implementing these principles and the most challenging aspects of developing a #detection #engineering #program.
