Cool Story, Bro: Making Detection Engineering Matter Up the Chain

A Chloe Burton special on the very human side of detection engineering. From a nonlinear path into security (neuroscience, psychology, Splunk era chaos) to leading a DE team today, Chloe and Alex break down why context beats checklists, why so many detections cluster in the middle of the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and how telemetry availability quietly shapes what we defend. We dig into detection fundamentals that don’t get talked about enough: avoiding the myth of the perfect rule, resistin...
