This was a pleasure to read, not just for how straightforward it was written, but it is forward thinking, something not seen enough in this industry. This is a must have for the security engineers library.

This book is an amazing journey through the process of building a Detection Engineering program within an organization. The book covers the fundamentals, how to collect and use data for analysis, working to reports and metrics, and even guidance on a career in the field. I recommend this book to anyone that is involved in threat detection and response or is interested in gaining some much-needed knowledge about the field.

Since becoming a detection engineer, many people have approached me asking for advice on how to develop their DE skills. There are some good sources of information out there for the conceptual piece, and some options for self-directed hands-on work that are suitable for those with experience but overwhelming for those just beginning to learn about DE. I struggled to find resources that had a good balance between teaching theory and guiding newer learners through more practical scenarios.This book bridges the gap. It’s approachable for someone who has some general infosec knowledge and experience while still offering valuable considerations and additional references for those already working in a DE capacity. It’s well-structured, easy to read, and does a nice job of explaining both conceptual and practical points. I have already recommended this book to others and am happy to have a resource to recommend in the future.

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. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. 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. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
