Turning Noise into Actionable Intelligence
In the modern Security Operations Center (SOC), simply collecting logs is not enough. **Detection Engineering** is the critical function that translates threat intelligence and attack behaviors into effective, high-fidelity alerts within your SIEM, EDR, and other security tools.
Skandanova's Detection Engineers work as an extension of your team, dedicated to maximizing your security tool investment. We focus on **reducing false positives** (the noise) while ensuring you have **critical coverage** against advanced techniques (the signal), particularly mapping your capabilities to the globally recognized **MITRE ATT&CK Framework**.
Key Detection Engineering Services
MITRE ATT&CK Coverage Mapping
Systematically assess your current detection coverage gaps against real-world attacker techniques and prioritize the creation of new rules to close critical holes.
Custom Rule Creation & Deployment
Develop, test, and deploy custom detection rules (Sigma, Yara, native SIEM queries) tailored to your environment and relevant threat actors, ensuring high fidelity.
Alert Tuning and False Positive Reduction
Continuous calibration of existing alerts using SOC feedback to eliminate non-actionable noise, freeing up analyst time for real threat investigations.
Log Source Quality and Parsing
Ensure logs from all critical sources (Cloud, Endpoint, Network) are correctly collected, parsed, and normalized for maximum searchability and detection efficacy.
Detection-as-Code (DaC) Implementation
Establish modern, scalable detection pipelines using version control (Git) and automation to manage rules efficiently across multiple environments.
Attack Simulation and Validation
Perform controlled attack simulations (Purple Teaming) to validate that new and existing detection rules fire as expected, measuring true coverage against specific threats.
The Skandanova Detection Engineering Difference
- **Focus on ATT&CK:** Our strategy is built entirely around the MITRE ATT&CK framework, ensuring coverage against techniques adversaries actually use.
- **Reduced Alert Fatigue:** We prioritize quality over quantity, drastically cutting down the number of false positives handled by your SOC team.
- **SIEM Agnostic Expertise:** Deep expertise across major platforms, including **Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Elastic, and Chronicle**.
- **Threat-Driven Development:** Rules are constantly updated based on emerging threat intelligence and observed attacker behaviors in the wild.
- **Measurable Results:** We provide clear metrics (detection coverage, fidelity, and time-to-detect) to prove continuous program maturity and improvement.
