Palantir ADS

ads.yml → automated deploy

Deploy Palantir Alerting & Detection Strategy (ADS) detections with the YAML configuration, bringing documented strategies into the environment.

Use it when you want to deploy detections following Palantir's methodology: the Palantir ADS repository documents detection strategies (description, hypothesis, implementation, tests) and the automated deployment (repo pipeline with YAML config) pushes the rules to the SIEM. It's detection-as-code with Palantir as the reference: proven strategies (with their tests) deployed and versioned. In purple teaming and detection engineering, ADS is the reference methodology: the documented strategy with its implementation and tests — automated deployment brings it into the environment.

Don't use it without strategy analysis: Palantir ADS are reference — the repo implementation must be adapted to the environment (SIEM, fields, sources) before deployment; a blindly deployed strategy generates noise. And watch out: the Palantir repo covers published strategies — environment-specific ones (in-house applications) are written with the same methodology. Automated deployment requires the pipeline configured (repo CI/CD, 041): without it, the YAML configuration is just documentation. Deployed strategies are validated with tests (atomic tests per strategy) — the ADS cycle is deployment + validation.
