This leaves security teams carrying the burden of validation. When alert volumes are high โ and many alerts turn out to be false positives โ that workload can quickly become overwhelming, slowing investigation and increasing the risk that real threats are missed.

Filters and verifies potential threats through baseline context, traffic inspection, known attack patterns, and threat intelligence to reduce low-confidence alerts.

Performs multi-step analysis, invokes relevant tools, and correlates findings across multiple dimensions to help confirm malicious intent before high-confidence threats are surfaced. In practice, this can include protocol decoding, threat intelligence lookups, active probing, network and endpoint correlation, URL extraction, behavioral analysis, and code inspection.
