AI Cyber Defense
Treat extracted content as untrusted data and keep action authorization independent of text, image or audio interpretation. Restrict parsers and avoid unnecessary media retention.

Define the detection hypothesis before choosing syntax. Separate the security condition from optional enrichments so missing context does not silently suppress the core signal.

Prefer conditions tied to approved identity, signed binary, destination and maintenance context as appropriate. Review suppressed samples and re-evaluate when the software or role changes.

Compare confirmed useful cases and benign workload impact before and after a rule change. Avoid calling an unevaluated alert a false positive merely because it was closed quickly.
