Attack discovery leverages large language models (LLMs) to analyze alerts in your environment and identify threats. Each "discovery" represents a potential attack and describes relationships among multiple alerts to tell you which users and hosts are involved, how alerts correspond to the MITRE ATT&CK matrix, and which threat actor might be responsible. This can help make the most of each security analyst's time, fight alert fatigue, and reduce your mean time to respond.

IMPORTANT: Attack discovery is in technical preview and will only analyze opened and acknowleged alerts from the past 24 hours. By default it only analyzes up to 20 alerts within this timeframe, but you can expand this up to 100 by going to **AI Assistant → Settings (image:images/icon-settings.png[Settings icon,17,17]) → Knowledge Base** and updating the **Alerts** setting.

IMPORTANT: By default Attack Discovery analyzes up to 100 alerts within this timeframe, but you can expand this up to 500 by clicking the settings icon (image:images/icon-settings.png[Settings icon,17,17]) next to the model selection menu and adjusting the **Alerts** slider. Note that sending more alerts than your chosen LLM can handle may result in an error.
