What You’ll Learn
- Fundamentals of Sigma and detection-as-code
- Writing and structuring Sigma rules effectively
- Mapping rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques
- Testing Sigma rules against simulated attack data
- Converting Sigma to backend-specific SIEM queries (e.g., Splunk, Elasticsearch)
- Version control, CI/CD, and automation with Sigma rules
- Best practices for rule tuning and false positive reduction
Requirements
- Basic understanding of cybersecurity concepts
- Familiarity with SIEM platforms and log analysis
- Experience with YAML and basic scripting is helpful
Course Description
This comprehensive sigma detection engineering course takes a practical approach to writing detection rules that work across different SIEM platforms using the Sigma rule format. You’ll start with the fundamentals—understanding the Sigma format, rule fields, and YAML structure—before diving into advanced rule writing, attack simulation, and rule testing workflows.
You’ll learn to convert Sigma rules for use in Splunk, Elastic Stack, and other SIEMs using tools like Sigmac. Moreover, the course introduces detection-as-code practices, enabling scalable rule development with version control and automation using Git and CI pipelines.
By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently engineer Sigma-based detection content, helping your organization stay proactive against modern cyber threats.
