In the race to outpace automated threats, AI is no longer optional, it is the primary defense. However, deploying AI within the Security Operations Center (SOC) requires more than just new tools; it requires a new framework of governance to ensure those tools are safe, unbiased, and effective.Join Databricks Field CISO Omar Khawaja and a panel of security experts as they explore the intersection of AI governance and real-world SOC operations. We will dive into the practicalities of:Operationalizing Safety: How to deploy AI-driven detection and response without introducing new enterprise risks.The Velocity Gain: Leveraging AI to radically compress vulnerability lifecycles and patching windows.Guardrails for Autonomy: Implementing the essential governance "kill switches" and oversight needed when moving toward an Agentic SIEM.This session provides a practical roadmap for security leaders trying to navigate the "Speed vs Risk" dilemma of deploying modern AI technology.
