This AI research paper proposes a sentence classification system to identify attack techniques in cyber threat intelligence (CTI) reports, enabling security analysts to better comprehend attacker behaviors and implement effective mitigation measures. The system leverages auxiliary data with labeled examples to improve classification for the low-resource cyberattack task. The method involves training the model using augmented training data and then retraining it solely on primary data. Evaluations demonstrate that this approach boosts Macro-F1 scores by 5-9 percentage points while maintaining competitive Micro-F1 performance on the TRAM dataset, which is benchmarked against the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The system helps security analysts understand attack patterns and implement effective mitigation measures. It’s like having a superpower to identify potential threats before they happen!
