In this episode, host Alex Hurtado welcomes Zack Allen, the creator of Detection Engineering Weekly and Sr. Director of Security Detection & Research, to explore the traits of high-performing detection engineers. Discover why having "T-shaped" skills (deep knowledge in one area while maintaining broader understanding across domains) trumps being a pure specialist, and learn how psychological safety and blameless culture drive team success. Zack shares insights on emerging trends like Detection-as-Code (DaC) and AI integration and reveals why cross-team collaboration is crucial for effective threat modeling. Whether you're building a detection engineering team or looking to level up your skills, this episode offers practical wisdom from years of security leadership experience.
