The Challenges:

Evolving threat landscape necessitates organizations to be proactive about the threats in the wild before seeing the occurrences in their organization. This includes analyzing recently discovered threats that targeted other organizations and have become public. Analyzing the most important threats and manually writing detection rules for them in YARA, SIGMA, etc to enhance the security is a challenging operation.

Millions of new malware becoming public everyday

The sheer volume of new malware being released into the wild on a daily basis presents a significant challenge for security teams seeking to create new rules on their detection tools

Different samples require different expertise

Dealing with the plethora of malware strains is a daunting task, as different samples require specialized detection expertise. Acquiring such expertise can be cost-prohibitive for many organizations, as it requires significant investments in both human and technical resources.

Research to prioritize detections is time consuming

Detection engineers face the challenge of prioritizing detections to be pivoted on based solely on MITRE ATT&CK. Actionable malware-centric threat intelligence is often needed but not available about the industry-specific threats

Missing context inputs from DFIR and Threat Intel teams

Detection engineering requires high quality input from different teams in the SOC. Lack of in-depth analysis and context around investigated threats result in scratching the surface for creating effective detection rules.
