Detection engineering without the gatekeeping — use cases that SOC teams actually run.
Sigma-style logic, data source requirements, false-positive tuning, and MITRE mapping — explained so tier-1 understands and tier-2 can improve.
“I packaged the detections I wish every new SOC had on day one — with the 'why' attached, not just the query.”— Rishav Bhardwaj
Why you need this — honestly
- Your SIEM has 400 rules and nobody knows which matter.
- You are tired of copy-paste Sigma with zero context.
- You want to show detection skills on interviews and at work.

How to learn SIEM and detection engineering — high-signal use cases
SIEM learning fails when you copy rules without context. This guide teaches which detections matter, required log sources, tuning philosophy, and how to explain alerts to leadership.
- Identity, endpoint, and network use cases with logic explained
- Log source checklist per rule — know what you need ingested
- Tuning, suppression, and testing with attack simulation
- Metrics and runbooks that tie detections to operations
Common questions
- How do I learn SIEM as a new SOC analyst?
- Start with one log source type (auth or endpoint), understand a handful of high-signal rules, then expand. This pack teaches use cases with the ‘why’ — not naked Sigma paste.

Rishav Bhardwaj — cybersecurity practitioner & author of Cyber Rishav
I've trained 200+ analysts, built blue-team programs inside real enterprises, and still sit in the work — SOC triage, cloud risk, GRC, and IR. These guides are the same structured thinking I use in programs and 1-on-1s, written so you can act this week, not someday.
