Tuning SIEM Detections Without Drowning in Alerts

PLACEHOLDER — A practical loop for cutting false positives without losing coverage.

PLACEHOLDER — replace with the post body from the Wix technicalblogposts collection. Detection tuning fails when it is treated as a one-time cleanup rather than a standing loop. The version that works looks like this: measure the alert's precision over a fixed window, find the single field that separates signal from noise, narrow on that field only, and re-measure. What matters is that every tuning change is reversible and recorded. A rule that was narrowed six months ago for reasons nobody wrote down is a rule nobody will ever widen again.
