Security monitoring systems generate large volumes of alerts, but effective cyber defence depends on well-designed detections that accurately identify malicious activity. Detection engineering focuses on designing, testing, and improving rules that help security teams identify threats efficiently.
This mentor-led programme introduces the practical techniques used to build and maintain effective detection rules. Learners explore detection logic, alert tuning strategies, and investigation workflows used in modern Security Operations Centres (SOC).
Through practical scenarios and guided exercises, participants practise writing detection logic, analysing false positives, and mapping detections to the MITRE ATT&CK Framework to understand attacker behaviours. By the end of the programme, learners will understand how to design high-quality detections that improve organisational security visibility.
Practical exercises creating detection rules, analysing alerts, and tuning monitoring systems.
Experienced cyber security mentors guide learners through real-world detection engineering practices.
