107: AI in Security Operations (With Jimmy Mesta)

In this episode, editor-in-chief David Rubinstein discusses AI in the Security Operations Center with Jimmy Mesta, co-founder and CTO at RAD Security. Among the topics addressed are:How AI amplifies existing SOC strengths rather than inventing new capabilities from scratch?Why foundational elements, like signal hygiene, clear workflows, and documented context, must be in place before a SOC can benefit from AI.Lessons from past SIEM and SOAR deployments that security teams should apply to avoid repeating the same mistakes with AI in the SOC.The steps SOC leaders should take now (e.g., cleaning alerts, mapping workflows, documenting incidents) to ensure AI becomes leverage instead of liability.
