The process optimization phase focuses on identifying workflow bottlenecks, assessing security tool integration, and enhancing automation for faster responses, while testing operations under simulated stress conditions. Detection engineering involves refining detection rules, integrating tools and data sources, and evaluating their effectiveness through continuous tuning and testing. Tech stack benchmarking with SimSpace's Stack Optimizer enables organizations to test and optimize their security tools and infrastructure in a realistic environment, improving performance, enhancing detection capabilities, and validating compliance without disrupting production.
