EP170 Redefining Security Operations: Practical Applications of GenAI in the SOC

Guest:

• Payal Chakravarty, Director of Product Management, Google SecOps, Google Cloud

Topics:

• What are the different use cases for GenAI in security operations and how can organizations  prioritize them for maximum impact to their organization?

• We’ve heard a lot of worries from people that GenAI will replace junior team members–how do you see GenAI enabling more people to be part of the security mission?

• What are the challenges and risks associated with using GenAI in security operations?

• We’ve been down the road of automation for SOCs before–UEBA and SOAR both claimed it–and AI looks a lot like those but with way more matrix math-what are we going to get right this time that we didn’t quite live up to last time(s) around?

• Imagine a SOC or a D&R team of 2029. What AI-based magic is routine at this time? What new things are done by AI? What do humans do?
