🚨🔍👨💻🛡️ 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.

My quick and dirty list of not-so-obvious complementary skills for Detection Engineers. These are the things I study on my "low-tech" days. Most of these are mindset/procces centric and require minimal technology. #infosec#CyberSecurity#DetectionEngineers#BlackTechTwitter
First up, Statistical Analysis. Statistical analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data in order to discern patterns and trends. This is useful when establishing baselines and identifying anomalies. simplilearn.com/what-is-statis…

Here’s my quick an dirty lab workout for Detection Engineers. I do this work out 2 to 3 times a week for about 2 hours. #CyberSecurity#infosec#BlackTechTwitter
First you’ll need a lab. I don’t romanticize the struggles of building a lab. Sure, you learn a lot but you’re trying to start building detections. So I recommend using an automated set up like this one. github.com/clong/Detectio…
