Documentation and Detection Pipelines
In Chapters 6 and 7 of the book, we learned how to create a set of detections. As your team begins to build out your detection repository, it is important to maintain quality by enforcing standards upon the team, and yourself.
In this chapter, we will begin by looking at how to document detections. Proper documentation standards are key to maintaining knowledge within your detection team and supporting SOC analysts reviewing alerts created by the detections. We will demonstrate the type of information that should be documented and methods to standardize and keep the documentation.
Another way to enforce quality is through the use of a detection pipeline. Leveraging a detection pipeline is a good way to implement and automate processes within your team. We’ll show what it looks like to leverage detection-as-code and continuous deployment to take code through various stages of texting. We’ll also introduce the concept of building...
