A SecOps Medley: we talk automation, AI, data management, and EDR evaluations – Allie Mellen – ESW #394
We couldn't decide what to talk to Allie about, so we're going with a bit of everything. Don't worry - it's all related and ties together nicely.
- First, we'll discuss AI and automation in the SOC - Allie is covering this trend closely, and we want to know if she's seeing any results yet here.
- Next, we'll discover SecOps data management - the blood that delivers oxygen to the SOC muscles.
- Finally, we'll discuss MITRE's recent EDR evaluations - there was some contention around some vendors claiming to ace the test and we're going to get the tea on what's really going on here!
