Handling Panther-managed detections when using CI/CD if I only want to use a subset of them

Last updated: February 17, 2025

How should I handle the Panther-managed detections when using CI/CD if I only want to use a subset of them?

When transitioning to a CI/CD workflow and wanting to maintain only specific Panther-managed detections (e.g., AWS-related packs), we recommend keeping all the source code in your private repository to avoid potential merge conflicts when pulling updates from the upstream Panther repository.

Important Considerations

  • If you delete Panther-managed rules from your forked repository, you will encounter merge conflicts each time you pull updates from the upstream repository.

  • When the "Use Panther Analysis Tool to manage detections" setting is enabled, you won't be able to enable or disable Detection Packs from the Panther Console.
