Cybersecurity Detection Classification with Reasoning-enabled Language Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.28460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A major issue in Security Operations Centers (SOCs) is alert fatigue, as the number of detections reported is more than staff can triage in a given day. Prior work prompts or fine-tunes large language models (LLMs) to emit a triage label directly, but does not train them to reason about whether a detection is a genuine threat. We train a chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning-enabled triage classifier on real, human-labeled Windows endpoint detections by combining automated prompt optimization, self-training, and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. We find that CoT reasoning also degrades the label-token probabilities that automated triage relies on, so we separately train a calibrator that reads the full reasoning trace and estimates t
