Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Creating and managing your custom detections can get complex quickly. You want to make sure you have a reliable and repeatable process for this workflow before you have too many detections to maintain.  

In this course, you will be introduced to a full detection-as-code workflow. You will learn how to develop and craft detections from threat intelligence. You will understand how to use Sigma, an industry-standard detection documentation format, and the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, used to understand and categorize threat actor tools, techniques, and procedures. Next, you will gain experience with using a git repository and a CI/CD pipeline for collaboration and automation of your detections. Automation options will be examined for deployment, tuning, retirement, testing, and validation of custom detections. 

By the end of the course, you will be able to implement a full cradle-to-grave detection lifecycle using automation, version control, and wiki-based documentation.
