Detection Engineering with Sigma Course
 
Detection Engineering with Sigma Course is a practical, hands-on training program designed to help security professionals build, analyze, and operationalize high-quality detection rules using Sigma. Sigma provides a vendor-agnostic, YAML-based rule format that empowers teams to create consistent, scalable detections across SIEM, EDR, and log analytics platforms.
This course takes you from foundational concepts to advanced detection engineering techniques. Through guided exercises and real-world threat scenarios, you’ll learn how to write Sigma rules, map them to data sources, test detections, and convert rules into platform-specific queries for tools like Splunk, Elastic, Sentinel, Chronicle, and more.
