CTI 101: Cyber Threat Intelligence, Detection Engineering & AI
Turn Threat Intelligence into Defensible Detections
Speaker: Carlo Anez MazurcoDuration: 35 minVideo in English
About this session
A practical, hands-on session connecting intelligence requirements, the Pyramid of Pain, and threat context directly to detection engineering and hunting. Includes live Jupyter/MSTICpy demonstrations with synthetic telemetry, IOC extraction, Sigma rule drafting, and local LLM acceleration with mandatory analyst validation.
Key topics
Cyber Threat Intelligence lifecycle & defining operational intelligence requirements
David Bianco’s Pyramid of Pain applied to modern defensive detection strategy
Using threat context to prioritize detection rules over simple hash/IP blocking
Extracting and enriching IOCs against endpoint and network telemetry
Drafting Sigma and YARA rules from observed adversary behavior
MITRE ATT&CK enterprise technique mapping
Using AI models (Ollama/local LLM) with strict human-in-the-loop verification
