Detection-as-Code & CI/CD in Detection Engineering with Dennis Chow | EP. 9

Detection as Code is one of the most important evolutions in modern security detection, and in this video, we break it down.

I first encountered this concept as a Cloud Threat Detection Engineer at Datadog. Today, I’m joined by Dennis Chow, a Detection Engineering specialist and author of Automating Security Detection Engineering (which I had the honor of technically reviewing).

Together, we explore what Detection as Code really means and walk through two hands-on CI/CD pipeline demos:

🔹 Lab 1: Building SIEM detections with synthetic AI testing using Sumo Logic

🔹 Lab 2: Policy-as-Code integration testing with Cloud Custodian on GCP

You’ll learn how Detection as Code leverages Git, automated testing, reproducibility, collaboration, and CI/CD to make detection engineering more scalable, accountable, and reliable.
