The Detection Engineering Loop: Sigma & Sysmon

Detection engineering is not about collecting more data; it is about collecting the *right* data. By combining Sysmon’s granular endpoint telemetry with the standardized logic of Sigma rules, we create a detection pipeline that is both tool-agnostic and highly effective.

High-Fidelity Telemetry

Focusing on Process Creation (Event ID 1) and Network Connection (Event ID 3) events allows us to map adversary behavior directly to the MITRE ATT&CK matrix.

Sigma Rule Implementation

Sigma allows us to define detection logic once and deploy it across Splunk, ELK, or Microsoft Sentinel. This modularity is key to a modern, agile SOC team.
