Security Detection Update - 2024-3-26

Welcome to our weekly security detection and report update. Our Incident Detection Engineering (IDE) Team is constantly hard at work. Creating, testing, and writing detections for you! This week, we've made several important updates to improve your security posture and enhance the functionality of our detections. As you might know, monthly, we also release an overview of the entirety of what was changed in the product. However in these updates we'll focus on the net new content that IDE provides on an ongoing basis, musings from our team, and maybe the occasional horoscope if you're lucky.

Introduction and Overview

Ya know, sometimes detections just don't work out. The IDE team strives to give you high-fidelity detections that lead to actionable data. As our processes mature, so does our testing, automation, and knowledge. Sometimes the parsing or logs aren't just right, the false positives are too high, or we want to spend a little extra time getting the analysis and workflows right. I'm sure you've been there before, too, but with every ticket closed we get a little bit better.

So even though we don't have a list of shiny new detections to give you this week, we'll be back again next week trying just as hard, but with a little more experience and learnings to help us all out.

IDE Content

Of course we're going to sneak some of our other content into detection updates!
