Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
An approach to writing, testing, and deploying security detection rules using software engineering practices: version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code. Detection engineers write rules in languages like Sigma, YARA-L, or KQL, store them in Git repositories, test them against sample data, and deploy them through automated pipelines. This practice brings software development rigor to security operations.
Detection as code improves the quality, consistency, and speed of detection development. Security engineers who can write detections with engineering discipline are highly sought after. SOC teams using this approach can deploy new detections in hours rather than days. Understanding CI/CD for security content is becoming a core requirement for detection engineering roles.
