• Escalate unusual or high-risk events to the Threat Hunting team and Detection Engineers for further investigation and detection rule development
• Leverage AI-enabled detections to support manual analysis and reduce noise; report improvement opportunities for playbook development
• Extract additional details from platforms for active incidents; escalate complex queries to Threat Hunters as needed
