// Real-World Applications
Reduce mean-time-to-triage by feeding alert queues into LLMs to score, group, and summarise before an analyst even touches them.
Query threat intel feeds, correlate context, and produce enriched IOC summaries without switching between a dozen browser tabs.
Describe attacker behaviour in plain English and get draft Sigma, KQL, or SPL detection rules to validate and tune.
Translate technical incident findings into clear, jargon-free summaries for CISO and board-level communication.
Use AI to generate realistic adversary scenarios, inject injects, and debrief your team — without a consultant's day rate.
