When researchers analyzed how Pegasus spyware infected iPhones without the user tapping anything, they found something wild. The attackers sent an iMessage with a fake GIF that targeted Apple's image decompression engine. The decompression math was so flexible that the exploit

Microsoft Threat Intelligence has observed threat actors using agentic AI tools to search public GitHub repositories for exposed secrets and then using stolen secrets for further malicious activity against the compromised organization.

Threat Intelligence & SIEM Pipeline Agents

Problem Statement

Honeytokens (synthetic credentials, AWS API keys, or fake document files placed as traps) generate alerts when accessed by attackers. However, security teams need immediate contextual triage when a canary trips to determine if an attacker is inside the network or if an internal developer accidentally stumbled upon the token.

Goal

Deploy an agent that processes honeytoken trigger alerts, traces the source IP/identity, and coordinates immediate deception response protocols.

Outcome Measurement

  1. Intruder Detection: 100% true-positive alert rate on honeytoken triggers.
  2. Triage Acceleration: Intruder IP isolated within 3 seconds of token access.

How the Code was Built

Ingests canary token telemetry payload and generates immediate SOC containment directives.

Executable Code

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
class CanaryTriggerResponse(BaseModel):
threat_severity: str = "CRITICAL"

def process_canary_alert(alert_payload: dict) -> CanaryTriggerResponse:
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o", temperature=0)
structured_llm = llm.with_structured_output(CanaryTriggerResponse)
prompt = f"Analyze this honeytoken deployment trigger alert and issue containment instructions:\n{alert_payload}"
return structured_llm.invoke(prompt)
