Key Takeaways

Hugging Face reported a highly sophisticated attack last week, carried out by an

autonomous agent of an advanced LLM.

Their anomaly-detection pipeline utilized LLM-based triage over security

telemetry vs noting usage of a SIEM/XDR, which would normally be used by

enterprises.

SIEM/XDRs designed to detect the very type of attacks we saw, however, need to

be well tuned and modernized to detect advanced behaviors in a timely fashion.

Leaves us positive on vendors with most modern solutions, namely CRWD /

PANW / ESTC .

Does the SIEM adapt to next-generation attacks? As we highlighted in our deep

dive into the SIEM market last month, the security information and event
