SEC595: Applied Data Science and AI/Machine Learning for Cybersecurity Professionals

Attackers are leveraging AI to increase the speed of attack chains, and defenders need to catch up. This talk will explore the current—and ever-evolving—state of the art in using agentic AI as a force multiplier during incidents. Key considerations, including data privacy, context window exhaustion, hallucinations, human-in-the-loop review, and more, will be discussed. Practical tools for experimenting with these techniques will also be demonstrated.
