Detection-as-Code & CI/CD in Detection Engineering with Dennis Chow | EP. 9

Detection as Code is one of the most important evolutions in modern security detection, and in this video, we break it down.I first encountered this concept as a Cloud Threat Detection Engineer at Datadog. Today, I’m joined by Dennis Chow, a Detection Engineering specialist and author of Automating Security Detection Engineering (which I had the honor of technically reviewing). Together, we explore what Detection as Code really means and walk through two hands-on CI/CD pipeline demos:🔹 Lab 1: Building SIEM detections with synthetic AI testing using Sumo Logic🔹 Lab 2: Policy-as-Code integration testing with Cloud Custodian on GCPYou’ll learn how Detection as Code leverages Git, automated testing, reproducibility, collaboration, and CI/CD to make detection engineering more scalable, accountable, and reliable.Dennis' BlogDennis' GithubDennis' LinkedIn_____________📁RESOURCES:→ GitHub repo for lab 1→ GitHub repo for lab 2→ Dennis’ book→ My book review→ Our podcast episode together_____________⚡️⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN 6,000+ CWX MEMBERS ON DISCORD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠📰 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSCRIBE TO THE CYBERWOX UNPLUGGED NEWSLETTER⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🥶 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CYBERWOX MERCH⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________🧬 CYBERWOX RESOURCES🔹 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cyberwox Cybersecurity Notion Templates for planning your career⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔹 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cyberwox Best Entry-Level Cybersecurity Resume Template⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠🔹 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Learn AWS Threat Detection with my LinkedIn Learning Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠_____________📱 LET'S CONNECT → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠→ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: [email protected]_____________⚠️DISCLAIMERThis description has some affiliate links, and I may receive a small commission for purchases made through these links.
