Understanding Detection as Code

Detection as Code is the practice of authoring, version-controlling, testing, and deploying SIEM, EDR, and XDR detection rules using software-engineering workflows such as Git, peer review, and CI/CD pipelines. Treating detections like application code enables automated validation, change tracking, rollback, and consistent deployment across environments, reducing drift and improving detection quality and auditability.
