ABSTACT:
How do we separate genuine utility from hype, and how do we prepare for the next wave of adversarial AI in the field. It feels like every vendor has some story of how AI is now embedded in security products, from AI bots, to long existing anomaly detection capabilities, to automated incident response, the promise seems well… promising! Beneath marketing promises and race for market relevance lie serious questions about accuracy, bias, explainability, and resilience against adversarial manipulation. This presentation takes a critical look at where AI genuinely strengthens defensive capabilities and where it introduces new attack surfaces, operational blind spots, or dependence on opaque models. Rather than viewing AI as a silver bullet, the talk positions it as a powerful but fallible tool—requiring careful validation, tuning, and human oversight. Can we break through the barrier and prompt AI to give us a guard railed human experience.
We will walk through a credible use case where we will look at specific points of a breach fire fight where AI can create cognitive and functional surplus to gain advantage.
