Abstract

The sophistication of cyberthreats demands more efficient and intelligent tools to support Security Operations Centers (SOCs) in managing and mitigating incidents. To address this, we developed the Security Event Response Copilot (SERC), a system designed to assist analysts in responding to and mitigating security breaches more effectively. SERC integrates two core components: (1) security event data extraction using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) methods, and (2) LLM-based incident response guidance. This paper specifically utilizes Wazuh, an open-source Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform, as the foundation for capturing, analyzing, and correlating security events from endpoints. SERC leverages Wazuh's capabilities to collect real-time event data and applies a RAG approach to retrieve context-specific insights from three vectorized data collections: incident response knowledge, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0. This integration bridges strategic risk management and tactical intelligence, enabling precise identification of adversarial tactics and techniques while adhering to best practices in cybersecurity. The results demonstrate the potential of combining structured threat intelligence frameworks with AI-driven models, empowered by Wazuh's robust SIEM capabilities, to address the dynamic challenges faced by SOCs in today's complex cybersecurity environment.
