How Elasticsearch ES|QL COMPLETION turns noisy curl and wget rules into high-fidelity cloud security alerts
Elastic Security deployed a detection rule for curl and wget file transfers that uses ES|QL COMPLETION, an LLM-powered triage feature, to filter out legitimate cloud activity before alerts reach analysts. Running the rule on Elastic's production fleet for seven days, the system reduced noise by using deterministic filtering and LLM reasoning to distinguish between expected automation, CI/CD jobs, and potential attacker activity. The approach maintains security visibility for file transfer detection in cloud environments while eliminating false positives that would otherwise overwhelm security teams.
Why it matters: Cloud security teams managing curl and wget detection rules can apply this pattern to reduce alert fatigue while maintaining coverage for T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer, using LLM triage to handle the long tail of infrequent but potentially suspicious destinations.
