Introduction to detection rules

You learned in the previous chapter how to work with detection engineering to identify malicious behavior in incident response.

Sometimes, you can detect this behavior through monitoring, but other times, this will not be the case, and you must act proactively to identify this behavior. This will be a priority to contain threats.

Turning detection engineering into actionable security through detection rules is one of the most important skills to develop as an incident responder.

Detection rules are structured patterns of key information to search for specific indicators in the form of queries that you can run on different platforms such as ELK, Splunk, NetWitness, and CrowdStrike.

There are different kinds of rules; for example, there are rules to identify Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) or specific content as YARA rules, or rules to identify Indicators of Attack (IoAs) as Sigma rules. You will learn how to use both in this chapter.
