A computer-program product comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
- identifying, via the one or more processors, a technology source-agnostic security event signal type that corresponds to a technology source-agnostic security event signal;
- retrieving, via the one or more processors, a corpus of computer-executable detection instructions digitally mapped to the technology source-agnostic security event signal type;
- assessing, via the one or more processors, the technology source-agnostic security event signal against each computer-executable detection instruction included in the corpus of computer-executable detection instructions;
- and
- generating, via the one or more processors, at least one prospective security alert based on the technology source-agnostic security event signal satisfying a set of alerting conditions of a respective computer-executable detection instruction of the corpus of computer-executable detection instructions, wherein the respective computer-executable detection instruction is constructed using a detection-building graphical user interface that includes a set of user interface buttons configured to control whether the respective computer-executable detection instruction is only used for a single subscriber or across all subscribers.
