The evolving threat landscape requires security operations (SecOps) to move beyond traditional methods and embrace cutting-edge innovations. Generative AI is emerging as a game-changer, enabling security teams to automate and enhance threat intelligence processes with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

In this session, we will explore how generative AI tools transform SecOps by automating tasks such as malware analysis, threat report generation, and contextual threat modeling. Attendees will learn how to integrate generative AI into their SecOps workflows to improve detection, decision-making, and response times while reducing the burden on human analysts.
