The rule functions as a higher-order detection, aggregating existing security alerts within a 30-minute window to look for patterns indicative of credential theft or unauthorized access. By analyzing cross-host activity, MITRE ATT\u0026amp;CK tactic progression, and source anomalies, the integrated LLM generates a confidence score and a verdict for each user. This automated analysis assists SOC analysts in filtering through high volumes of signal, specifically highlighting cases where multiple rules have triggered against a single user across different data sources, such as endpoint authentication logs or cloud provider activity.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInitial access via credential theft or phishing against a specific user entity.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker triggers multiple low-to-medium fidelity security rules across the network.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe compromised user account performs activity across multiple hosts (lateral movement).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisparate security signals are generated in the SIEM, including credential access or unusual file modifications.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe LLM-based triage rule aggregates these signals by unique user ID and username.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe LLM evaluates the aggregated alert context for malicious patterns (e.g., initial access to lateral movement).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rule filters and surfaces high-confidence (score \u0026gt; 0.7) indicators of account compromise for analyst review.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSOC teams initiate response actions such as account suspension or MFA reset based on the LLM verdict.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful account compromise often leads to unauthorized data access, lateral movement within the environment, and potential exfiltration.
