Q&A

What is detection engineering?

Detection engineering is the practice of implementing tools and rules to identify and respond to security incidents in an organization's IT infrastructure.

Can prevention alone protect against cyber threats?

No, prevention alone is not sufficient. Cyber threats are inevitable, and organizations need detection and response capabilities to effectively mitigate risks.

What is Aurora?

Aurora is an endpoint detection and response platform that uses Sigma rules to detect and respond to security incidents. It offers transparency and customization options for users.

How can Aurora enhance cybersecurity defenses?

Aurora allows organizations to customize and expand their detection rules based on their specific needs, providing better visibility and flexibility in identifying security threats.

What are Sigma rules?

Sigma rules are a standardized format for representing cybersecurity detection rules. They can be used by tools like Aurora to identify potential security incidents.
