Segment 1: Interview with Monzy Merza - There is a Right and Wrong Way to use AI in the SOC

In the rush to score AI funding dollars, a lot of startups build a basic wrapper around existing generative AI services like those offered by OpenAI and Anthropic. As a result, these services are expensive, and don't satisfy many security operations teams' privacy requirements.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when discussing the challenges of using AI to aid the SOC. In this interview, we'll dive into the challenge of finding security vendors that care about security, the need for transparency in products, the evolving shared responsibility model, and other topics related to solving security operations challenges.

Segment 2: Topic Segment - How much AI is too much AI?

In the past few weeks, I've talked to several startup founders who are running into buyers that aren’t allowed to purchase their products, even though they want them and prefer them over the competition. Why? No AI and they’re not allowed to buy.
