This poster provides a practical, end-to-end view of Detection Engineering, guiding defenders from raw log data to meaningful alerts.

Built around the Detection Engineering Life Cycle, it breaks down how detections are identified, developed, tested, deployed, and continuously improved, while also covering key concepts like data collection strategies, SIEM architecture considerations, and common detection techniques. Designed as a quick-reference visual, it helps analysts, engineers, and SOC teams better understand how to turn data into reliable, actionable detections grounded in real-world practices from SEC555: Detection Engineering and SIEM Analytics.
