Human-Machine Teaming: Applying AI to Frontline Threat Intelligence Workflows
from The Defender's Advantage Podcast Hosted by Mandiant
Host Luke McNamara is joined by Jake Nicastro, who leads the AI function for the Frontline Intelligence Operations team within the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG). Jake details how his team is shifting from simple prompt engineering to more advanced agentic workflows, focusing on a model of "human-machine teaming." He shares practical use cases for AI in CTI—including automated script decoding, hunting query creation, and streamlining repetitive metadata-labeling tasks. Jake also discusses the concept of "judge agents" for quality control, the implementation of structured analytic techniques, and how real-time AI assistants can accelerate on-boarding and domain transitions for frontline threat analysts.
