New Course: Automated Detection with Sigma

Two courses in one week?!? We're so excited to share with you a new course that Faculty member @Imlordofthering has been working hard on for about a year now!

Automated Detection with Sigma is an introduction to using and deploying Sigma rules in a Detection as Code design. You'll learn how to read and write Sigma rules, deploy a Splunk SIEM. convert your rules to the Splunk Processing Language, and build the infrastructure to automatically convert new Sigma rules to saved and scheduled searches.

This is a hot topic and we think you'll find that it useful in both lab and enterprise environments.

Go start learning!

Ultimately though a lot of this has to do with business metrics and business goals. If these distinctions are the KPI of a SOC then the water gets muddy. The philosophic distinction matters less than the one that justifies your budget.

Good data makes for good science. But we're not doing science, we're doing business.
