  • Engineered and trained a LLM to autonomously map Suricata rules, transforming fragmented threat signatures into an intelligent, self-evolving knowledge base of MITRE techniques. This system didn’t just detect threats—it learned, reasoned, and predicted attack patterns, bridging rule-based security with AI-driven cyber intuition. The result? A smarter, context-aware defense layer that redefined how security teams interact with intrusion detection whilst saving costs and optimising inference-time!
