What is Detection Engineering? How it differs from just building rules/analytics? How to convert threat intelligence into detections?  How to tell good detections from bad? And perhaps also good from great? How to test detections in the real world? Anything special about building detections for cloud environments? What do you think is the role of “rule-less” (such as ML) detections? Is “ML unicorn cavalry” coming?
