Threat
Detection Engineering
Build alerts your team can act on. We tune detection rules to your systems and check how well they cover relevant attack techniques.
Overview
Catch the techniques that matter.
We map your coverage against MITRE ATT&CK, build and validate high-fidelity detections as code, tune out false positives, and feed purple-team and threat-intel insights back in — so your detection capability measurably improves over time.
Coverage
What we deliver.
High-fidelity, measurable detection coverage.
- MITRE ATT&CK coverage mapping
- Detection rule development
- False-positive tuning
- Detection-as-code & versioning
- Validation & adversary emulation
- Threat-intel integration
- Coverage reporting
- Purple-team feedback loop
FAQ
Threat detection engineering FAQ
Scope, cost, and what happens next.
How much does detection engineering cost?
It is scoped to your environment and whether you need a one-off coverage uplift or an ongoing programme. Contact us for a tailored figure.
What is detection engineering?
The discipline of designing, building, testing, and maintaining detections that reliably catch adversary behaviour while minimising false positives.
How do you measure detection coverage?
We map your detections to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and validate them with adversary emulation, producing a clear coverage and gap report.
Will this reduce our false positives?
Yes — tuning and high-fidelity detection design are core to the work, directly cutting alert fatigue.
Do you write detections as code?
Yes — portable, version-controlled detections (e.g. Sigma) so your coverage is maintainable and testable.
How does this relate to threat hunting?
Hunts often surface new adversary behaviour, which we turn into durable detections — the two reinforce each other.
More questions about this service
Can you work with our existing SIEM/EDR?
Yes — we build and tune detections for your existing tooling, whatever the platform.
Do you validate detections with real attacks?
Yes — we use adversary emulation and purple-team exercises to confirm detections fire as intended.
