**💭Talk Abstracts:**
**From Data to Defense: AI-Enhanced Threat Detection with Elastic SIEM**
Rajvi Patel - Software Engineer

*This session demonstrates how Elastic SIEM and OpenAI together enable faster, smarter threat detection and response.*

*We’ll cover the full lifecycle — ingesting security data, building detection rules, and automating alerts — and explore how Elastic’s OpenAI connector uses generative AI to explain alerts, summarize incidents, and assist with investigation workflows. Attendees will gain practical insights into operationalizing AI within the SOC to build scalable, real-time defense systems.*

**do MORE with stateLESS Elasticsearch** \- Andreas Christoforides\, Principal Consulting Architect\, Elastic

*How would you build Elasticsearch if it was started in 2024? Decouple compute and storage, outsource the persistence to a blob store like S3, dynamically scale up and down, have the right defaults, and a clear path for developers. This is what we have done!*

*In this talk, learn how we have redesigned Elasticsearch to do more with a stateless architecture that can run hot queries on cold storage. And see how you can get started with it today.*

I am a Software Engineer and Elastic contributor with experience in SIEM, integrations, observability, and dashboard development. I’ve contributed to several Elastic open-source projects, including enhancements to threat detection pipelines and Lens-based visualizations. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Computer Science at Arizona State University, where I’ve also worked on mobile app development and collaborated with researchers to build data-driven visualization tools. I’m passionate about creating scalable systems that bridge research and real-world applications.
