PROFILE

Ben-sublime

Over a three-month period, contributed to the sublime-security/sublime-rules and static-files repositories by engineering and refining detection rules for email security and fraud prevention. Focused on rule development using YAML and regular expressions, the work included enhancing brand impersonation detection for companies like Booking.com, Capital One, and Wix, as well as expanding financial threat coverage and host recognition. Technical improvements involved tuning detection fidelity, reducing false positives, and synchronizing updates across repositories for consistent policy enforcement. The approach emphasized maintainable, version-controlled rule creation and configuration management, resulting in more accurate threat detection, streamlined SOC workflows, and improved compliance monitoring without introducing bugs.

September 2025 performance: Strengthened detection rules for sensitive employee communications in sublime-security/sublime-rules, delivering targeted enhancements to email attachment and phone-number detection to improve risk flagging while reducing false positives. Key changes included expanding keywords in attachment_sus_employee_doc.yml (payout, qualification, plan), correcting a file-name typo for compensation, and adding 2022–2023 date patterns; refining phone-number detection with standardized digit sets and flexible spacing; and introducing exclusions in paypal_invoice_abuse.yml to prevent legitimate settlement refunds from triggering alerts. These changes were implemented via two commits (4f38807c75333f5381dc101ec470e09cc6489e83 and 697edc48f391cd6c2022c00111731ae204a343d5), demonstrating careful rule engineering and maintainability. Overall impact: higher detection accuracy, lower alert noise, faster triage, and stronger compliance coverage. Technologies/skills: YAML rule tuning, regex/keyword-driven detection, version-controlled changes, risk-scoring improvements, and cross-rule consistency.
