Abstract

The research focused on the developing threat detection rule using the Splunk Attack Range tool to enhance the organization infrastructure security. In this research work, the key challenge of replicating production environment to simulate attack data is tackled with the Splunk Attack Range tool, which is a vital for effective threat detection rule development. This study delves into strategies to overcome the time-consuming nature of this replication process. By optimizing the simulation, organizations can efficiently create threat detection rules tailored to their specific environments. The development of efficient threat detection rule plays a vital role in identifying and eliminating the malicious actor in the network, therefore strengthening the organization infrastructure. The ultimate goal of the research aims in the improvement of defence security by enabling the development of accurate and robust threat detection alerts to counter the evolving cyber threats in the modern IT world.
