🚨🔍👨💻🛡️ I got few questions about what a Detection Engineers does. Daily tasks range from monitoring security systems to designing and developing detection logic? Here are some common tasks that I perform on given day #Cybersecurity #DetectionEngineer #SecurityOperations #SIEM
1️⃣ Building SIEM Architecture
Some detection engineers build SIEM architecture to collect, process, store, analyze, and respond to security-related data from various sources to identify potential security threats and alerts the security team.

2️⃣ Monitoring Security Systems
Detection engineers monitor security systems, review logs/alerts/reports, identify potential threats, and investigate suspicious activities. Essential in security ops.

3️⃣ Analyzing Threats
Detection engineers analyze threats to create rules, procedures, and algorithms for detection and prevention using statistical analysis, pattern recognition, and machine learning. They must understand different threat types, attack techniques.

7️⃣ Documentation
Documentation is key for detection engineers. Rules, procedures, and algorithms must be well-documented to facilitate future reference and training, as well as updating the detection logic.

8️⃣ Continuous Improvement
Detection engineers continuously improve their detection logic to remain effective against evolving threats. Staying up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices is key to maintaining a strong security posture and responding to new threats.
