Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

Richard Bejtlich sits down with Stan Kiefer, Corelight’s Senior Manager for Data Science, to discuss how AI serves as a vital "abstraction layer" and "knowledge multiplier" for security analysts. Stan explains that while AI can synthesize complex information, it remains untrustworthy without high-fidelity network data at its center to provide verifiable evidence. The episode explores the shift toward an "agentic ecosystem" and a tiered architecture where a central orchestrator manages specialized sub-agents to accelerate detection and investigation.

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as we explore AI in the SOC with Josh Neil, Co-founder of Alpha Level. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

Most folks build their SIEM the same way they load a junk drawer: by shoving in whatever they already have—Active Directory, firewalls, and a whole lot of “eh, why not.” But at Graylog, we think you deserve better than a glorified log toilet. In this talk, we’ll flip the script: start with the problems you’re actually trying to solve, then figure out what you need to know, then what data supports that. And with Graylog’s Intelligent Data Routing, you can now act on that plan—sending high-value data to hot storage and archiving the rest to standby storage for when (and if) it’s needed. Build your SIEM like it has a brain—and a budget.
