Ep 10: AI in the SOC

In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming security operations centers (SOCs) from basic log-watching teams into sophisticated threat-hunting command centers drowning in data. AI excels at processing security alerts faster than any human, but the challenge lies in balancing our growing dependence on algorithmic assistance with the irreplaceable value of human intuition in outsmarting creative attackers.

Ep 7: SOAR Loser: Does the O in SOAR stand for obsolete?

SOAR might sound like a superhero for security teams, but is it actually flying too close to the sun? In this episode, Adam and David unpack why security orchestration, automation, and response have been helpful… but might be headed for retirement, thanks to AI shaking up the game. They also dig into the headaches of managing clunky SOAR systems and why it’s time to rethink workflows and case management before you get left in the dust.

Ep 6: Security haven or horror story: from SIEMs to lakes to lakehouses

Between SIEMs, data lakes, and data lakehouses, the buzzwords alone could fill a glossary. In this episode, Adam and David break down the real differences between data lakes and SIEM systems and why effectively managing all that data is crucial for staying visible and secure. They also dive into how AI is shaking up the game and why picking the right tools can mean the difference between being overwhelmed and being in control.

Ep 4: Stop writing dumb AI security policies: use threat models, not fear

AI policy is not a yes/no question. Security isn’t here to be the morality police. Our job is to enable the business safely. Join security experts Adam White and David Girvin as they chat about the importance of using threat models, a simple framework, and five policy areas you are probably ignoring.

Ep 1: So you're buying your first SIEM...here's how not to suck at it

You’ve been told you need a SIEM. Maybe it was your CISO. Maybe it was your auditor. Maybe your SOC is tired of stitching together logs with duct tape and Python scripts. Doesn’t matter — you’re now on the SIEM buying journey. Congratulations… and condolences. Join security experts, Adam White and David Girvin as they walk through the ultimate playbook for buying your first SIEM without lighting your budget (and your team’s morale) on fire.

Ep 3: CISOs hate their security tools

Sumo Logic’s 2025 Security Operations Insights report surveyed 500 IT and security leaders from enterprise organizations to uncover what’s really happening inside today’s SOCs. Join security experts Adam White, David Girvin, and Zoe Hawkins as they break down the top findings from the report and shed light on what every analyst and CISO has felt for years: the system needs a reset.

Ep 2: Hacked together: fast, safe prototyping with AI

Join security experts Adam White, Chas Clawson, and Seth Williams as they explore how AI-first development is reshaping the way cybersecurity teams build, test, and deploy solutions. Traditional development cycles often leave critical ideas trapped in backlogs, but with Gen-AI and language models, security teams can now move from concept to prototype in hours, not months.
