Detection Engineering

Detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK and tuned to your environment — cutting false positives and catching the techniques that matter, with measurable, version-controlled coverage.

Overview

Catch the techniques that matter.

Generic, out-of-the-box rules miss real attacks and bury your team in noise. Detection engineering is the discipline of building, testing, and maintaining detections that actually fire on adversary behaviour in your environment.

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.

Aligned to: MITRE ATT&CK Sigma Detection-as-code

FAQ

Threat detection engineering FAQ

The questions we're asked most about scope, cost, and timing.

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.
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.

A 30-minute scoping call costs nothing. A blind spot costs considerably more.
