 llage | Creator Talk/Panel\n   When: Friday\, Aug 7\, 15:45 - 16:45 PDT\n 
   Where: LVCCW Level 2 W217 (Blue Team Village) Main Stage - [1]Map\n\n   
 Description:\n\n   Detection Engineering is a concept rooted in decades of
  blue teaming\,\n   but applied with a modern lens. At its core\, it’s a
  practice where a\n   blue teamer can apply principles across software eng
 ineering\, security\n   analysis\, and data science to detect and respond 
 to threats without\n   needing to staff a traditional SOC. In 2026\, this 
 field is in the\n   spotlight due to the meteoric growth of technology and
  AI\, but like\n   any field in security\, it has its sharp edges and brok
 en promises.\n\n   In this panel\, we will discuss Detection Engineering i
 n 2026 with a\n   diverse set of experts who work on these problems every 
 day. We will\n   cover topics around threat research and hunting\, writing
  and\n   maintaining a ruleset\, modern CI/CD practices for blue teams &\n
    codifying incident response in security operations.\n\n   Speakers:Alex
