Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of Sigma Rules, your detection rules remain incompatible across SIEMs, generating chaos from useless alerts and critical blind spots.

  • A SOC team loses on average 40% of its time – or 800 hours per year per analyst – to manual adaptation hacks, tripling false positives.

  • This exposes the company to devastating breaches: 70% of major incidents evade fragmented detections, with an average cost of 4,5 million euros per attack according to IBM.

  • Every month without unified rules threatens business resilience, compliance, and your career trajectory in a field where late detection equals professional failure.

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.
