Can the latest wave of AI innovation deliver for security operations teams? – ESW #369
Edward Wu thinks so! Understandably so, as his startup, Dropzone.ai is making a big bet on generative AI to change the face (and pace) of security operations.
We'll talk about what has changed here, and I have so many questions:
- after many generations of AI/ML technology in security, is the current gen really that dramatically different?
- Dropzone is far from the only startup with the same idea here, how will they differentiate?
- Is the problem that we need more help than we can possibly hire, or are we fundamentally doing something wrong in security operations?
- Specifically, what is this tech doing to help?
Finally, we'll wrap by talking about where this tech goes next, and can we get there with current technology, or are we dependent on more breakthroughs from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta?
