WHERE DO DETECTIONS COME FROM?

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Detect.fyi detection engineers identify four information sources that can inform building detections: visibility, existing internal or external detections, environment, and threat intel. Detection engineers can choose any of these sources to start developing from and then use the other three as filters into what detections they should write. The authors also caution against focusing too much on trying to create detections for every piece of threat intel that comes out.
