Earlier this month, a webinar hosted by Dark Reading explored the future role of AI in security operations, featuring insights from CISOs Mandy Andress of Elastic and Matt Hillary of Drata. The discussion highlighted the transformative potential of AI and large language models (LLMs) in automating repetitive tasks and enhancing contextual decision-making for security analysts. While the economic implications of integrating AI into existing enterprise technologies were acknowledged, the conversation emphasized optimism about AI's ability to streamline workflows, reduce manual interventions, and provide real-time, context-rich threat assessments. The panelists noted that AI's capacity to generate queries and suggest remediation steps is expanding analysts' capabilities and fostering knowledge exchange within the security community. Although AI's full potential in providing comprehensive, daily security posture reports has yet to be realized, the outlook remains promising as organizations continue to explore AI's capacities in evolving security landscapes.
