Building New Skills in Security Operations

This session will examine cross-functional collaboration between security teams and engineering teams in the age of artificial intelligence, and how much easier it is to go from 0 to 1 in terms of prototyping security solutions.

We’ll identify pain points in security operations from a technical perspective and how to introduce automation in a way that allows security teams to be more efficient and scale to support more clients or expanded operations/responsibilities.
