Presentation
Automated Status Quo: The signal to noise crisis and how AI can change nothing and everything about detection.
Cyber teams are overwhelmed by alerts and false positives, and while AI promises relief, it also empowers attackers to generate overwhelming noise that obscures real threats. The challenge isn’t producing more detections but refining detection logic to preserve true signal amid AI‑amplified noise. Explore how AI can be both a solution and an attack vector, enabling new threat classes that exploit automated decision‑making and revealing real-world examples of its successes and failures.
