Use AI to assist triage

Correlate related events and draft concise evidence summaries for analysts. Keep the original logs accessible and distinguish observed facts from generated hypotheses. Validate outputs before escalation, blocking or containment.

Measure operational usefulness

Evaluate against representative historic incidents and normal activity. Track false positives, missed incidents, analyst review time and differences across log sources. A high alert count is not proof of better detection.

Secure the model supply chain

Record model origin, dataset provenance and dependencies. Review licences, artefact integrity and unsafe loading risks. Evaluate new models in isolated environments with controlled data and no production credentials.

Monitor supplier updates and deployment changes. Assign ownership for patching, incident response and rollback, and review whether a replacement model changes the system’s privacy or security assumptions.
