eBook Description:

Automating Security Detection Engineering: A hands-on guide to implementing Detection as Code. Accelerate security detection development with AI-enabled technical solutions using threat-informed defense.

Today’s global enterprise security programs grapple with constantly evolving threats. Even though the industry has released abundant security tools, most of which are equipped with APIs for integrations, they lack a rapid detection development work stream. This book arms you with the skills you need to automate the development, testing, and monitoring of detection-based use cases.

You’ll start with the technical architecture, exploring where automation is conducive throughout the detection use case lifecycle. With the help of hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to utilize threat-informed defense artifacts and then progress to creating advanced AI-powered CI/CD pipelines to bolster your Detection as Code practices. Along the way, you’ll develop custom code for EDRs, WAFs, SIEMs, CSPMs, RASPs, and NIDS. The book will also guide you in developing KPIs for program monitoring and cover collaboration mechanisms to operate the team with DevSecOps principles. Finally, you’ll be able to customize a Detection as Code program that fits your organization’s needs.

• Understand the architecture of Detection as Code implementations
• Develop custom test functions using Python and Terraform
• Leverage common tools like GitHub and Python 3.x to create detection-focused CI/CD pipelines
• Integrate cutting-edge technology and operational patterns to further refine program efficacy
• Apply monitoring techniques to continuously assess use case health
• Create, structure, and commit detections to a code repository

By the end of the Automating Security Detection Engineering book, you’ll have gained the expertise to automate nearly the entire use case development lifecycle for any enterprise.
