Evidence stage
DeploymentAn employer has put it into production. Can move the baseline — weighted by scale and how similar the setting is.

Writing the detection
Turning what you learned from one incident into a rule that catches the next one without drowning the queue.

Where this applies
United States, one employer. A paper by the employer's own staff says RuleForge is an AWS internal system that automatically generates detection rules identifying malicious HTTP requests that exploit specific vulnerabilities; that each generated rule passing automated validation is submitted as an individual code review to the internal security team; and that the volume processed was intentionally limited to avoid overwhelming the human reviewers. Its evaluation covers the last four months of 2025. A preprint by the employer's staff; the rules target web exploits, not an organisation's own estate, and its productivity figure is relative.
What this means
At one large employer, drafting detection rules is done by a model, and analysts' work shifts to reviewing and approving them.
What it does not yet show
One employer's own preprint about one kind of rule; no change in analysts' numbers or time is given.
What you can check
Open arXiv:2604.01977 and find "an AWS internal system that automatically generates detection rules".
Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. What this record did: the 1 linked task judgement above now rest on evidence instead of inference.
