Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as Ken Westin, Senior Solutions Engineer at LimaCharlie, shares his AI journey and what the hero's journey framework reveals about how security professionals can move from hesitation to genuine mastery of AI tools. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

Security operators often struggle with the escalating friction that naturally occurs in their detection and response (D&R) workflow. Detections fire in one tool. Investigations happen in another. Case tracking lives in a third. For MSSPs managing dozens of client environments, fragmentation compounds quickly. Analyst time bleeds into context-switching. SLAs are hard to track. When something goes wrong, reconstructing what happened across multiple platforms is painful.

This video walks through how single agents and multi-agent systems are built and run inside the LimaCharlie platform. Agents in LimaCharlie are defined declaratively. Each agent specifies the model it runs, its instructions, the tools it can access, what events trigger it, and the guardrails it operates under. This approach makes agents version controllable, reviewable, and portable across tenants.

Users are connecting AI tools without understanding the security implications. In this week's Intel Chat, Chris Luft and Matt Bromiley discuss a security breach at Vercel that originated from a compromised third-party AI tool used by one of its employees. The attacker gained control of the employee's Google Workspace account, which provided access to Vercel's internal environment.
