Detection Logic

Definitions

1. The specific conditions, correlations, thresholds, or behavioral patterns used to decide when security telemetry should produce an alert. Strong detection logic balances coverage with precision so analysts are not buried in noise.

   In plain English: The actual rules or patterns a security tool uses to decide something looks suspicious.

   Example: "We adjusted the detection logic to require both suspicious parent process lineage and unusual network egress."
