Open-source LLM aims to reduce SOC analyst workload with local alert triage

A security analyst developed an LLM-based Security Operations Center (SOC) triage model designed to run locally on a laptop, processing alerts without sending data externally. While the model performed perfectly on a synthetic test set, it generated a significant number of false escalations on real-world alerts. Adjustments were made, including training on actual benign alert data and implementing a schema-based validation to constrain the model's output, which improved accuracy but introduced new trade-offs. AI

IMPACT Provides a potential tool for reducing SOC analyst workload and improving alert triage efficiency with local processing.

    My SOC triage model had 0 false escalations. On real alerts it had 39 out of 100.

    <p>On my test set the model got 55 out of 55 verdicts right, with zero false escalations. Then I gave it 100 real alerts from a Wazuh lab. It escalated 39 of them for nothing, and invented incidents that never happened for some of them.</p> <p>That gap shaped everything after it.…
