Welcome to our security detection and report update. Our Incident Detection Engineering (IDE) Team is constantly hard at work. Creating, testing, and writing detections for you! This week, we've made several important updates to improve your security posture and enhance the functionality of our detections. As you might know, monthly, we also release an overview of the entirety of what was changed in the product. However in these updates we'll focus on the net new content that IDE provides on an ongoing basis, musings from our team, and maybe the occasional horoscope if you're lucky.
It was so great seeing so many people at Grrcon this last week!! Instead of putting out two blog posts back to back, we combined two weeks of releases into one :D Our team produced some great new threat feed detections based off of some amazing research over at DFIR Report, and also some new GCP informational and risk detections!
