Microsoft Releases CTI-REALM Benchmark For Detections

Microsoft introduces CTI-REALM, an open-source benchmark that evaluates AI agents on end-to-end detection engineering by converting cyber threat intelligence into validated Sigma rules and KQL detection logic across Linux, AKS, and Azure cloud environments. The suite uses 37 curated CTI reports, ground-truth scoring across three platforms, and a CTI-REALM-50 evaluation of 16 model configurations, revealing Anthropic models leading and cloud detection proving hardest.
Scoring Rationale
High practical impact and broad scope from an official Microsoft benchmark, with limited novelty relative to existing CTI evaluation work.
