Using LLMs for Incident Timeline Compression

Timeline compression works when you preserve sequence integrity and keep each event tied to source evidence.

Recommended structure:

• Group by host, identity, and process lineage.
• Summarize by phase: initial access, execution, persistence, and impact.
• Attach short evidence references that analysts can verify quickly.

Compression is most useful when it shortens time-to-understanding without hiding uncertainty.
