Welcome to Detection Engineering Weekly!

Hi, my name is Zack. I’m currently a Senior Director at a large SaaS-based technology company, and I am responsible for a critical function for our internal teams and our customers: Detection Engineering and Security Research. My organization’s daily task is to study how threat actors target environments and building, maintaining and shipping Detection Rules, Security Controls and Threat Intelligence to protect these environments. I’ve been in this field for over a decade, and have published research on all kinds of topics, been featured in the top news organizations in the world, and my research has been used by law enforcement to put criminals behind bars.

This newsletter spawned out of the lack of centralized content in Security Operations. There are SO many amazing researchers, resources and news organizations that publish their research, findings and news stories for people like us to consume.

So, I spent a ridiculous amount of time tracking these sources down, indexing them and reading each one to pick out what I think would be useful for my readers. I also include my own technical analysis for each story, so you can see how I think about these topics and translate them for my company and for all of you.

I do this “for free”, as in, the newsletter doesn’t have any paywall. If you’d like to get a weekly drop of news, feel free to Subscribe, and if you want to support me further, feel free to subscribe for $5/month.
