Celebrating Detection Engineering Excellence

SOC Prime Recognizes Top Threat Bounty Researchers Mastering Uncoder AI

SOC Prime continues to fuel the professional development of cybersecurity experts by recognizing and celebrating individual contributions to global cyber defense. Through the Threat Bounty Program, SOC Prime empowers skilled threat researchers and SIEM rules engineers to enhance their impact on collective cybersecurity efforts. Earlier this year, we introduced digital badges to recognize outstanding contributions, and now, we’ve taken it a step further by providing members of the Threat Bounty Program access to Uncoder AI — a professional IDE & co-pilot for creating high-quality and actionable threat detection rules.

With the idea of equipping every cybersecurity enthusiast with the best tool for cyber defense, SOC Prime has shifted all activities of the Threat Bounty Program to Uncoder AI, which became the main tool instead of the deprecated Developer Portal and Sigma Rules Slack Bot. The adoption of the Uncoder AI into the Threat Bounty provided the Program members with advanced features for creating, validating, and storing the detection rules in a custom content repository, as well as the opportunity to submit detections for publication on the SOC Prime Platform via a single interface. This significant enhancement offers new opportunities for individuals to keep their skills sharp and stay competitive in the ever-evolving cybersecurity field.

Uncoder AI: A Game-Changer for Individual Threat Researchers

Uncoder AI offers cybersecurity researchers a robust set of tools to create, validate, and submit high-quality detection rules. The integration of Uncoder AI into the Threat Bounty Program represents a significant milestone, providing not only SOC Prime customers but also members of our crowdsourced program for Blue Teamers with cutting-edge technology that aligns their skills with the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape. It provides proficient cybersec folks with a co-pilot for working with threat detection rules for various SIEMs, making everyday job objectives less challenging, but it also serves as a ground for discovering and developing new talents in the field. 

IDE & Co-Pilot for Coding Threat Detection Rules

Uncoder AI acts as an integrated development environment (IDE) and a co-pilot for coding threat detection rules, harnessing the power of augmented intelligence and industry expertise to enable SOC teams to seamlessly code, validate, and share detection ideas using Sigma and MITRE ATT&CK as code assistants. With Uncoder AI, security professionals can create rules faster, avoiding any errors, and automate routine tasks with CI/CD API.

Smart Autocompletion and Quality Control 

Writing high-quality detection rules requires precision, and Uncoder AI’s smart autocomplete and quality control features help researchers code detections flawlessly, easier, and faster. Backed by Sigma and MITRE ATT&CK as code assistants and powered by the world’s largest library of detection rules, Uncoder AI helps Threat Bounty developers write code faster with automated suggestions from multiple built-in dictionaries. Additionally, Warden engine enables running syntax and logic checks for Sigma rules, ensuring they meet format requirements and industry standards. 

IOC-to-Query Converter 

Threat researchers can easily convert threat intelligence into actionable queries using the IOC-to-Query converter. This feature allows users to paste threat intelligence in any non-binary format and generate custom queries compatible with multiple SIEM, EDR, and Data Lake platforms. Researchers can instantly perform retrospective IOC matching at scale, significantly enhancing threat detection capabilities.

Cross-Platform Translation Engine 

Uncoder AI’s powerful cross-platform translation engine automatically converts detection code into multiple different SIEM, EDR, and Data Lake native language formats, including Sigma and Roota open-source languages. With the introduction of Roota, individual researchers can write rules with any language they already know and Uncoder will help to translate code to other common languages, eliminating the need to learn any new specific or generic query format. The goal is to equip anyone with rule writing experience with better tools at work. This way, not only seasoned threat hunters, DFIR and Sigma rules experts, but also SOC analysts eager to contribute to collective good through Threat Bounty Program now use SOC Prime’s advanced detection engineering suite with Uncoder at its heart. 

Empowering the Next Generation of Cyber Defenders

SOC Prime is committed to equipping cybersecurity practitioners — both experienced experts and newcomers—with the tools to sharpen their skills and bolster global cyber defense. Uncoder AI exemplifies this mission, providing individual threat researchers in the Threat Bounty Program with a cutting-edge, AI-powered platform for creating threat detection rules. As the cyber threat landscape evolves, Uncoder AI helps researchers stay ahead of emerging threats, making them vital contributors to the fight against cybercrime.

To further acknowledge excellence and individual advancement of professional expertise, SOC Prime has introduced digital recognition badges for Uncoder AI mastery, celebrating outstanding contributions to crowdsourced cyber security. These badges highlight researchers’ achievements, reinforcing their status in the cybersecurity community.

Now enriched with the Uncoder AI capabilities, SOC Prime’s Threat Bounty Program provides unique opportunities for detection engineers and threat hunters to challenge and monetize their skills, just like the red teamers do in the bug bounty programs. Don’t hesitate to start with Uncoder AI today, explore the tool further, and join the Threat Bounty Program to contribute to global cyber defense.
