No More Cold Starts: Building Persistent AI Memory for Security
Details
Join us for our monthly meetup! This month's speaker is Alex Minster (Belouve) with their talk No More Cold Starts: Building Persistent AI Memory for Security. Every AI session starts cold. It doesn't know what you investigated last week, which threat actors you're tracking, or what you decided last month. You brief it every time. That's not intelligence work. That's babysitting.
This talk covers CEREBRO, a persistent, searchable AI memory system built on free-tier open source infrastructure: Supabase, MCP protocol, and Discord. Any AI connects to it. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or all three at once. No SaaS. No subscription. No vendor lock-in.
The CTI use case is where it gets interesting: persistent threat intel ingestion via Discord, automated monthly briefings, and live investigation enrichment through an integrated threat intelligence toolkit. Invoke a single protocol in any connected AI and get a full briefing from everything you've actually captured, across every session, every model, every month.
Persistent memory also changes how defensive exercises work. When the AI facilitating your tabletop remembers previous runs, prior team decisions, and exposed gaps, scenarios evolve and after-action findings carry forward.
We'll also talk about what your AI memory knows about you: isolation architecture, engagement lifecycle management, and building a brain you can trust with sensitive work.
Blue team, red team, and intel practitioners are all welcome and benefit from this talk.
