Focus Threat Intel Capabilities at Detection Engineering (Part 4) | by Anton Chuvakin | Anton on Security | Medium

This blog series was written jointly with Amine Besson, Principal Cyber Engineer, Behemoth CyberDefence and one more anonymous collaborator. In this blog (#4 in the series), we will start to talk about the elephant in the room: how intel becomes detections (and, no, it is not trivial) medium.com medium.com medium.com Detection Engineers are often picky with the intelligence they receive … and for good reasons. Incomplete, too high-level or overly specific data leads to long analysis time, bias and ultimately inconsistent detection quality and detection coverage gaps. On the other hand, the intel team may process so much intelligence data that it can be a real challenge to understand what the detection team is even expecting. So, in many cases there is an “intelligence — detection gap”, of sorts. This is our topic in this part of the blog series. To start, in the Detection Engineering Maturity Matrix by Kyle Bailey, intel is referenced on the upper maturity level of the “Threat Operatio
