Automating Security Detection Engineering

Part 1: Automating Detection Inputs and Deployments

In this part, you will review the technical- and program-level components for implementing a detection as code program. In addition, you will scope and automate implementing IOCs using threat intelligence. After that, you will develop code to implement pipelines that rapidly deploy custom detections to enterprise security tools. Finally, you will leverage AI to automatically generate use cases.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Detection as Code Architecture and Lifecycle
  • Chapter 2, Scoping and Automating Threat-Informed Defense Inputs
  • Chapter 3, Developing Core CI/CD Pipeline Functions
  • Chapter 4, Leveraging AI for Use Case Development

Key benefits

  • Create automated CI/CD pipelines for testing and implementing threat detection use cases
  • Apply implementation strategies to optimize the adoption of automated work streams
  • Use a variety of enterprise-grade tools and APIs to bolster your detection program
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

Today's global enterprise security programs grapple with constantly evolving threats. Even though the industry has released abundant security tools, most of which are equipped with APIs for integrations, they lack a rapid detection development work stream. This book arms you with the skills you need to automate the development, testing, and monitoring of detection-based use cases. You’ll start with the technical architecture, exploring where automation is conducive throughout the detection use case lifecycle. With the help of hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to utilize threat-informed defense artifacts and then progress to creating advanced AI-powered CI/CD pipelines to bolster your Detection as Code practices. Along the way, you'll develop custom code for EDRs, WAFs, SIEMs, CSPMs, RASPs, and NIDS. The book will also guide you in developing KPIs for program monitoring and cover collaboration mechanisms to operate the team with DevSecOps principles. Finally, you'll be able to customize a Detection as Code program that fits your organization's needs. By the end of the book, you'll have gained the expertise to automate nearly the entire use case development lifecycle for any enterprise.

Who is this book for?

This book is for security engineers and analysts responsible for the day-to-day tasks of developing and implementing new detections at scale. If you’re working with existing programs focused on threat detection, you’ll also find this book helpful. Prior knowledge of DevSecOps, hands-on experience with any programming or scripting languages, and familiarity with common security practices and tools are recommended for an optimal learning experience.

What you will learn

  • Understand the architecture of Detection as Code implementations
  • Develop custom test functions using Python and Terraform
  • Leverage common tools like GitHub and Python 3.x to create detection-focused CI/CD pipelines
  • Integrate cutting-edge technology and operational patterns to further refine program efficacy
  • Apply monitoring techniques to continuously assess use case health
  • Create, structure, and commit detections to a code repository

As someone who started out as a technical business analyst and has since specialized in security operations, I have to say that this book written by Dennis is an absolutely wonderful guide for security automation detection.So much time is spent on repetitive tasks when security professionals really need time to investigate larger and more impactful issues.Automation is so crucial to ensuring a security operations center can maintain efficiency and effectively address issues.Dennis really knows what he’s talking about in this book. This guide is truly essential for any security professional.A big thanks to Dennis for sharing this knowledge with us!
