LanG -- A Governance-Aware Agentic AI Platform for Unified Security Operations
This addresses alert fatigue and tool fragmentation for Managed Security Service Providers, offering a comprehensive solution with incremental improvements in integration and governance.
The paper tackles the problem of fragmented security operations by introducing LanG, an open-source AI platform that unifies security tools and achieves high performance, such as 87% F1 score for incident correlation and 96.2% average acceptance rate for rule generation.
Modern Security Operations Centers struggle with alert fatigue, fragmented tooling, and limited cross-source event correlation. Challenges that current Security Information Event Management and Extended Detection and Response systems only partially address through fragmented tools. This paper presents the LLM-assisted network Governance (LanG), an open-source, governance-aware agentic AI platform for unified security operations contributing: (i) a Unified Incident Context Record with a correlation engine (F1 = 87%), (ii) an Agentic AI Orchestrator on LangGraph with human-in-the-loop checkpoints, (iii) an LLM-based Rule Generator finetuned on four base models producing deployable Snort 2/3, Suricata, and YARA rules (average acceptance rate 96.2%), (iv) a Three-Phase Attack Reconstructor combining Louvain community detection, LLM-driven hypothesis generation, and Bayesian scoring (87.5% kill-chain accuracy), and (v) a layered Governance-MCP-Agentic AI-Security architecture where all tools are exposed via the Model Context Protocol, governed by an AI Governance Policy Engine with a two-layer guardrail pipeline (regex + Llama Prompt Guard 2 semantic classifier, achieving 98.1% F1 score with experimental zero false positives). Designed for Managed Security Service Providers, the platform supports multi-tenant isolation, role-based access, and fully local deployment. Finetuned anomaly and threat detectors achieve weighted F1 scores of 99.0% and 91.0%, respectively, in intrusion-detection benchmarks, running inferences in $\approx$21 ms with a machine-side mean time to detect of 1.58 s, and the rule generator exceeds 91% deployability on live IDS engines. A systematic comparison against eight SOC platforms confirms that LanG uniquely satisfies multiple industrial capabilities all in one open-source tool, while enforcing selected AI governance policies.
