Turning threat reports into detection insights with AI | Microsoft Security Blog
Security teams often spend days manually turning long incident reports and threat writeups into actionable detections by extracting TTPs. This blog post shows an AI-assisted workflow that does the same job in minutes. It extracts the TTPs, maps them to existing detection coverage, and flags potential gaps. Defenders can respond faster, with human experts still reviewing and validating the results.
