Build sufficient security coverage for your cloud environment

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are responsible for building comprehensive threat detection strategies in the constantly evolving world of cybersecurity. The level of security coverage is a key indicator of success, which depends on the breadth, depth, and accuracy of threat detection tools and workflows. Building adequate security coverage involves challenges such as defining the boundaries of coverage, ambiguity about where to start documenting attacks, and inherent biases in building security coverage. To address these challenges, recommendations include generalizing the majority of detection rules and mapping them to industry-standard frameworks and models, preprocessing telemetry data to create generalized rules, and using multiple industry-standard sources like MITRE ATT&CK and PCI compliance frameworks for better visibility into a threat actor's entire attack path.
