Choose the right perspective
Match the person's environment to yours, since detection work in a large bank's security operations center differs from building a first detection program at a fast-growing technology company. Also decide whether you need help with detection content and rule tuning or with the SIEM platform and data pipeline underneath it, and ask each person how they measured detection quality.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which threats and techniques to write detections for first?
- 02How do you test, tune and retire detection rules so analysts trust the alerts?
- 03How did you split work between detection engineers, SOC analysts and the teams that own the SIEM platform?
