TACTIC-KG: Toward Small Agent Teams for Cyber Threat Intelligence Knowledge Graph Construction

arXiv:2607.05001v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) reports are predominantly unstructured, heterogeneous, and noisy, which limits their direct usability for automated analysis and reasoning. Cybersecurity Knowledge Graphs (CSKGs) provide a structured representation of adversarial entities, actions, and relations, but constructing such graphs from free-text CTI remains a challenge. Recent approaches rely on monolithic Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform end-to-end extraction and completion, leading to high cost, limited controllability, and unstable performanc
The proliferation of LMMs has created new opportunities for automation but also exposed limitations in managing unstructured and complex data for specific, high-stakes domains like cybersecurity.
This development addresses a critical bottleneck in cyber threat intelligence, enabling more automated, scalable, and controllable processing of vast amounts of unstructured data for defensive and offensive operations.
The focus is shifting from monolithic LLM approaches to more modular, agent-based systems for knowledge graph construction, promising greater efficiency, controllability, and stability in complex domains.
