Future Proofing the Foundation for AI-Ready Security Operations

Last December, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations’ (UN) body for information and communication technologies, supported  Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF)  for ratification as an international standard by June 2026. Standardization is now a global necessity as governments worldwide integrate ITU standards into their national cybersecurity policies. First, What is OCSF? The OCSF provides a standardized approach to streamline security operations, improve threat detection, and accelerate incident response. This unlocks the full potential of security data. A standardized schema for security events normalizes data from various sources, which creates a unified foundation for advanced analytics and AI-powered tools. This standardization is crucial for unleashing the full potential of generative AI in cybersecurity, allowing organizations to better identify patterns and correlations across disparate data sources. Data Standardiza...

Attaching Evidence to Alerts: an Enrichment Sidecar for Alertmanager

Every on-call engineer knows the ritual. A page lands in Slack: the 5xx rate on a service is above the threshold. The message tells you that something is wrong and nothing about what. So you open Kibana or Loki in another tab, set the time window to the last few minutes, filter by the service, and start reading. In my team this took two or three minutes on every alert, and these are the worst minutes of the incident, because nothing is being diagnosed yet. The obvious request is to put the last few error lines into the alert message itself. I tried to do this inside Alertmanager, and it cannot be done there. It helps to understand why before building anything around it. Why Alertmanager Cannot Do It Alertmanager renders notifications through Go templates, and a template can only use what is already attached to the alert: the labels and the annotations which Prometheus put there when the rule fired. There is no mechanism which would call Elasticsearch, Loki or any other HTTP API at t...
