- 揭示大模型在细节处理和真伪辨别上的不足,适合安全研究者参考。
从海量开源情报(OSINT)中分析数据是撰写全面威胁情报(CTI)报告的关键。该过程通常遵循三阶段工作流——初步筛选、深度检索和情报撰写。尽管大语言模型(LLMs)为自动化提供了前景,但现有基准仍存在局限:任务设计脱离实际分析师工作流程,如极少以选择题形式出现;依赖以词汇重叠为主的模型中心指标,忽视安全分析师所需的可操作、详细洞察;且通常未覆盖完整三阶段流程。为此,我们提出 CyberThreat-Eval,数据源自全球领先公司的日常CTI工作流,经专家标注,评估LLMs在所有三个阶段的实际任务表现。该基准采用分析师中心指标,衡量事实准确性、内容质量与操作成本。评估结果揭示当前LLMs的重要局限:常缺乏处理复杂细节所需的细微专业知识,难以区分正确与错误信息。为应对挑战,该工作流结合外部真实数据库与人类专家知识,并通过迭代反馈机制持续优化。代码已开源至GitHub与HuggingFace。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Analyzing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) from large volumes of data is critical for drafting and publishing comprehensive CTI reports. This process usually follows a three-stage workflow -- triage, deep search and TI drafting. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising route toward automation, existing benchmarks still have limitations. These benchmarks often consist of tasks that do not reflect real-world analyst workflows. For example, human analysts rarely receive tasks in the form of multiple-choice questions. Also, existing benchmarks often rely on model-centric metrics that emphasize lexical overlap rather than actionable, detailed insights essential for security analysts. Moreover, they typically fail to cover the complete three-stage workflow. To address these issues, we introduce CyberThreat-Eval, which is collected from the daily CTI workflow of a world-leading company. This expert-annotated benchmark assesses LLMs on practical tasks across all three stages as mentioned above. It utilizes analyst-centric metrics that measure factual accuracy, content quality, and operational costs. Our evaluation using this benchmark reveals important insights into the limitations of current LLMs. For example, LLMs often lack the nuanced expertise required to handle complex details and struggle to distinguish between correct and incorrect information. To address these challenges, the CTI workflow incorporates both external ground-truth databases and human expert knowledge. TRA allows human experts to iteratively provide feedback for continuous improvement.
