Detection frameworks

A curated list of resources and frameworks for designing, implementing, and optimizing detection controls in cybersecurity defense programs

Detection Engineering is a tactical function of a cybersecurity defense program that involves the design, implementation, and operation of detective controls with the goal of proactively identifying malicious or unauthorized activity before it negatively impacts an individual or an organization.
