Over the past decade, threat detection has become business-critical and even more complicated.

Threat detection programs that are fine-tuned for specific environments and systems are the most impactful.

A proper QA for detection code can enable teams to discover detection blind-spots early on, cover testing for false alerts, and promote detection efficacy.

A TDD approach to writing detections improves the quality of detection code and enables more modular, extensible, and flexible detections.

Code reusability can be a vital part of detection-writing that allows teams to share functions between detections or modify and adapt detections for specific use-cases.

Rather than inventing yet another proprietary language for expressing detection logic, Panther offers security teams a Python rules-engine to write expressive threat detection and automate detection and response at cloud-scale.
