Large language models (LLMs) are AI models with billions of parameters, trained on vast amounts of data. These models are typically flexible and generalized. The volume and distribution of training data determines what kind of knowledge a large language model can demonstrate. By training these large models on a variety of information from all knowledge domains, these models can perform sufficiently well on all tasks.

To confirm cyberattack occurrences and build or enhance cyber-defense strategies, threat intelligence teams use a lot of information, including Indicators of Compromise (IoCs). These IoCs are actually forensic data that are critical in: The relevance of IoCs cannot be downplayed, but they're not all that’s needed in building an effective cybersecurity strategy.
