What is detection triage?
Detection triage is the process of analyzing security detections to separate true threats from noise, classifying each detection, assessing its severity and context, and deciding whether it warrants escalation or can be dismissed.

Detection triage is closely related to alert triage; the terms are often used interchangeably, though "detection" emphasizes the output of detection engineering specifically. It is the highest-volume, most-automatable SOC task, and the one where AI agents are most commonly deployed first. Vendors report detection-triage decision-accuracy benchmarks (CrowdStrike cites >98% for its detection triage agent) as a primary proof point.
How Command Zero handles Detection Triage.
Command Zero's autonomous investigation mode performs detection triage end-to-end, analyzing each detection, gathering context across data sources, and producing a verdict with supporting evidence. Rather than a confidence score, the output is a documented conclusion an analyst can verify in seconds. Because Governed AI logs every step, dismissed detections retain a full audit trail in case they later prove relevant to an active incident.
