Writing Python Detections For Non-Programmers

Panther Security Engineer, Patrick Hagan walks you through how to write simple, creative, and useful threat detections in Python.

With its versatility and extensibility, Python makes it easy to express security logic that aligns with your business objectives for risk and compliance. In this session, Patrick will explain how first-timers and experienced Pythoneers and Pythonistas alike can write, test, and manage detection engineering like a pro.

Learn how you can:

• Create intelligent detections by analyzing nested JSON data.

• Handle complex data by simplifying AWS resource data structures and event logs.

• Keep private rules from being overwritten from changes to a public ruleset.
