What is detection-as-code, and does a small company need it?
Detection-as-code means writing your own detection rules as text files, often in a shared format such as Sigma, keeping them under version control and testing them like software. It suits security teams that hunt for specific threats and want precise control. A small company rarely needs it at the start: writing and maintaining rules takes skill and time, and a badly written rule creates noise or blind spots. You get more from a tool whose built-in detections and explanations already work, and from marking false positives as you go. If you later have a security specialist and specific needs, custom rules become worthwhile. In NetSenX, custom detection policies are available on the Enterprise plan; the core detections run on every plan.
