L1 bots investigate alerts; Morpheus investigates your environment. While standard automation stares at a linear list of tickets, adversaries are moving laterally and escalating privileges. To stop modern campaigns, you need to think in graphs, not lists. Attack Path Discovery aligns your defense with the adversary’s reality, automatically mapping the relationships between users, assets, and processes. This whitepaper explains how to use AI to trace the “bloodline” of an attack, catching the subtle signals that rule-based detection misses.
What You’ll Learn:
- Vertical vs. Horizontal Hunting: How to automate the search for privilege escalation (vertical) and lateral movement (horizontal) simultaneously.
- The Problem with General LLMs: Why generic AI models hallucinate in the SOC, and how training on MITRE ATT&CK and real telemetry grounds the model in reality.
- Retiring the Playbook: Why hard-coded “if-this-then-that” logic cannot catch novel threats, and how APD adapts dynamically to new attack patterns.
- Breakout Time Metrics: Moving your KPIs from “Time to Respond” to “Breakout Time”—beating the adversary before they pivot.
- Operational Roadmap: A step-by-step guide to integrating APD into your existing operational workflow.
