Purpose

The Detect phase establishes the capabilities needed to identify security events and anomalies. It covers monitoring strategies, centralized logging, anomaly detection rules, security testing procedures, and SIEM configuration.

Skills

Monitoring Strategy

/security-monitoring-strategy <topic>

Designs a comprehensive security monitoring strategy. Covers monitoring scope, tool selection, alert priorities, dashboards, and on-call rotation procedures.

Output: Monitoring strategy with alert taxonomy and escalation paths → .singularskills/security/<topic>/03-detect.md

Logging Architecture

/security-logging-architecture <topic>

Designs centralized logging architecture. Covers log collection, aggregation, retention policies, structured logging standards, and audit trail requirements.

Output: Logging architecture with retention policies and standards → .singularskills/security/<topic>/03-detect.md

Anomaly Detection

/security-anomaly-detection <topic>

Defines anomaly detection rules and baselines. Covers behavioral analysis, threshold tuning, false positive management, and correlation rules for identifying suspicious activity.

Output: Anomaly detection rules with baseline definitions → .singularskills/security/<topic>/03-detect.md

Security Testing

/security-security-testing <topic>

Plans security testing procedures. Covers SAST, DAST, IAST integration, fuzzing strategies, security regression tests, and CI/CD pipeline integration.

Output: Security testing plan with CI/CD integration points → .singularskills/security/<topic>/03-detect.md

SIEM Setup

/security-siem-setup <topic>

Configures SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) architecture. Covers data source integration, correlation rules, detection playbooks, and compliance reporting dashboards.

Output: SIEM configuration plan with detection playbooks → .singularskills/security/<topic>/03-detect.md

Next Phase
