SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detection-as-code engineering enables teams to treat detections as software artifacts with version control, automated tests, and CI/CD, reducing drift and manual handoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Author Sigma rules, YARA signatures, and SIEM queries as code
  • Test-driven validation across EVTX-ATTACK-SAMPLES and benign data
  • Integrate with CI/CD pipelines and ATT&CK Navigator for coverage mapping

Quick Start

Install the tooling, draft a Sigma rule for a target TTP, validate with sigma-cli parse, translate to backends, and wire in unit tests in CI.

Frequently Asked Questions about detection-engineering

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write Sigma rules and test them as code in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

Sigma rules are authored as code and validated using sigma-cli parse, then tested against EVTX-ATTACK-SAMPLES and benign data with unit tests wired directly into CI/CD pipelines.

What is detection-as-code engineering for SOC teams?▼

Detection-as-code engineering treats detections as software artifacts with version control, automated tests, and CI/CD, reducing drift and manual handoffs for SOC teams.

How do I validate YARA signatures against attack samples?▼

YARA signatures are validated through test-driven validation across EVTX-ATTACK-SAMPLES and benign datasets, ensuring accuracy before integration into the CI/CD pipeline.

Can I map Sigma rule coverage to MITRE ATT&CK techniques?▼

Yes, Sigma rules include ATT&CK tags for coverage mapping, and the workflow integrates with ATT&CK Navigator to visualize and satisfy quarterly review guidelines.

How do I tune false positives in SIEM queries during CI validation?▼

SIEM queries are translated to backends and validated against benign data in CI, allowing teams to tune false positives through unit tests before deployment.
