AI triage for security operations

An LLM-and-retrieval pipeline that turns security alerts into scored, prioritised tickets, with redaction and audit logging.

What was built

  • Retrieval over a vector store and a self-hosted model for triage
  • Confidence scoring, PII redaction, audit logging
  • Kubernetes deployment and a load-testing harness

What happened

Phase one accepted. Retrieval agreement went from near chance to 0.88–0.91 once a harness defect — it was measuring the harness, not the model — was found and fixed.

What it taught me

The absence of an outage is not evidence that a pipeline works. A silent rollback can hide a broken release process indefinitely.
