Detection Engineering

Detection engineering is the discipline of building, testing, tuning, and maintaining the rules that drive security detection. As the field has matured, this work has emerged as a distinct role with its own methodology, tooling, and career path. Where SOC analysts triage what detection produces, detection engineers shape what detection looks for.
