A six-month ethnographic co-creation project in a real SOC demonstrates that practitioner involvement in LLM tool design can overcome typical adoption barriers in cybersecurity operations.

Security practitioners use LLMs independently for low-risk productivity tasks while showing interest in enterprise platforms, but reliability, verification needs, and security risks limit broader autonomy.
A RAG system with query-based log filtering achieves up to 94% recall in malware incident analysis and 96% attack-step detection, with ablation studies confirming the filtering step is essential.
SOC analysts triage alarms correctly most of the time but rarely justify their decisions with the actual root cause.
A literature survey synthesizes 119 studies on AI-driven alert screening into a four-stage taxonomy of filtering, triage, correlation, and generative augmentation while identifying gaps in deployment realism and robustness.
