Use your experience with detection rules and SIEMs such as Splunk and Datadog to guide product design and integration priorities. Build realistic examples and test cases that capture attacker behaviour, benign activity and common sources of false positives. Evaluate product outputs for detection quality, useful context and the effort required for an analyst to reach a decision. Work with customers and colleagues to identify gaps, prioritise improvements and check that changes address practical security needs.
