What you'll walk away knowing
Tools detect. SIEM correlates. AI assists. Humans decide.
No single tool sees the whole attack. We'll trace a compromised account from first signal to full containment — and show exactly where AI fits in.
Tools detect
Email, identity, endpoint, network and cloud tools each flag suspicious activity in their own data.
SIEM correlates
A central platform connects related events into one broader incident view across sources.
AI assists
Summarizes the incident, prioritizes it, recommends next steps and speeds up the investigation.
Humans decide
Analysts validate the threat, weigh business impact and direct the response. Accountability stays human.
Who Should Attend

How we'll spend the session
1. Why traditional threat detection isn't enough: Alert overload, alert fatigue, and why more tools don't equal better security.
2. How AI fits into modern threat detection: Tools, SIEM, AI, and humans — what each one really does, and in what order.
3. Live walkthrough: a compromised account: Phishing → suspicious login → endpoint activity → correlation → response, step by step.
4. Building an AI-ready defense & next steps: A five-question readiness check, plus a live Q&A with John.
