Automated Zero-Day Triage Pipeline

In response to increasing zero-day attacks on edge devices, this challenge tasks you with building a resilient cybersecurity analytics engine. You will leverage Claude 4.5 via the Haystack framework to analyze vulnerability disclosures and generate structured threat intelligence. To ensure the reliability of long-running security scans and remediation steps, you will use Temporal for workflow orchestration. The system must ingest raw security bulletins, identify affected firmware versions using LLM-based parsing, and trigger automated testing environments to validate potential mitigations without human intervention.
