Listen "Security Automation And Leveraging AI To Deal With Security At Scale - Huxley Barbee"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Security Repo Podcast, we look at security automation and how we can engineer our way to better security overall.
We are joined, once again by Huxley Barbee, who has been a fixture of the security community for over 20 years. Professionally, he was a security consultant working with customers in finance, insurance, manufacturing, and higher education. Currently, he leads the security engineering group at a fintech company. Beyond the day job, he is also active in the security and hacker community. He started attending DEF CON in the late 90s, has spoken at many conferences throughout the US, and is the lead organizer for BSidesNYC. He lives in New York. You should connect with him on social media, buy him a drink, or both.
We start with a great discussion of what to automate and what not to automate when thinking about security. From there, we explore the role of AI in the security tool belt and how we can best leverage it to improve our posture. By the end, we get some updates about BSides NYC and elsewhere.
