Key benefits

  • Create automated CI/CD pipelines for testing and implementing threat detection use cases
  • Apply implementation strategies to optimize the adoption of automated work streams
  • Use a variety of enterprise-grade tools and APIs to bolster your detection program
  • Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Description

Today's global enterprise security programs grapple with constantly evolving threats. Even though the industry has released abundant security tools, most of which are equipped with APIs for integrations, they lack a rapid detection development work stream. This book arms you with the skills you need to automate the development, testing, and monitoring of detection-based use cases. You’ll start with the technical architecture, exploring where automation is conducive throughout the detection use case lifecycle. With the help of hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to utilize threat-informed defense artifacts and then progress to creating advanced AI-powered CI/CD pipelines to bolster your Detection as Code practices. Along the way, you'll develop custom code for EDRs, WAFs, SIEMs, CSPMs, RASPs, and NIDS. The book will also guide you in developing KPIs for program monitoring and cover collaboration mechanisms to operate the team with DevSecOps principles. Finally, you'll be able to customize a Detection as Code program that fits your organization's needs. By the end of the book, you'll have gained the expertise to automate nearly the entire use case development lifecycle for any enterprise.

Who is this book for?

This book is for security engineers and analysts responsible for the day-to-day tasks of developing and implementing new detections at scale. If you’re working with existing programs focused on threat detection, you’ll also find this book helpful. Prior knowledge of DevSecOps, hands-on experience with any programming or scripting languages, and familiarity with common security practices and tools are recommended for an optimal learning experience.

What you will learn

  • Understand the architecture of Detection as Code implementations
  • Develop custom test functions using Python and Terraform
  • Leverage common tools like GitHub and Python 3.x to create detection-focused CI/CD pipelines
  • Integrate cutting-edge technology and operational patterns to further refine program efficacy
  • Apply monitoring techniques to continuously assess use case health
  • Create, structure, and commit detections to a code repository

As someone who started out as a technical business analyst and has since specialized in security operations, I have to say that this book written by Dennis is an absolutely wonderful guide for security automation detection.So much time is spent on repetitive tasks when security professionals really need time to investigate larger and more impactful issues.Automation is so crucial to ensuring a security operations center can maintain efficiency and effectively address issues.Dennis really knows what he’s talking about in this book. This guide is truly essential for any security professional.A big thanks to Dennis for sharing this knowledge with us!

You should have a solid understanding of the information security and IT fundamentals before going through this book. This book does not go over the theoretical concepts of detection engineering (you won't be learning what the Pyramid of Pain is), it is hands-on and provides PoC (proof of concept) on how to implement detections in the corporate/enterprise environment.

One thing about our field it is constantly changing and to stay ahead of the threat actors you need automation, thinking out of the box and a in-depth knowledge of attack vectors and how they can be modified quickly to avoid and bypass many of the security tools out there.Dennis takes an approach that for those that are green in this field may feel loss but with with some dedication to learning the craft can quickly implement many of these items. While the season pro can start looking at how to take tasks off their plates.From the offensive side it opened my eyes to some of the tooling and automation that we need to be aware of and have a good idea how some people are implementing it for us to target how to bypass it. We can use that data then to work with our docs to strengthen our defenses.Well done.

This book is a game changer for anyone deep into the security field! It dives into the nuts and bolts of automating enterprise security, with a focus on Detection as Code practices. The hands-on labs are a real highlight—super practical and incredibly useful for getting to grips with everything from EDRs to SIEMs. It's definitely not for beginners, but if you're looking to seriously beef up your security setup, this is the book you need. The sections on developing KPIs and integrating DevSecOps principles are gold, making it not just informative but also really applicable to everyday work. Highly recommend if you’re looking to step up your game in cybersecurity!

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
