About this event

We will be having two presentations in August!  Rama Vadlamudi (Splunk) will be presenting "Hunt Smarter: Explainable AI for Threat Hunters and SOC Analysts in Splunk" and Matt Bennett (Hyperion3) and Rich Hampshire (Splunk) will be presenting "Practical SOAR Examples from the Field: Part 2".  Both presentations will be presented at .conf25 in September and this will be an opportunity for the presenters to test their presentations and to tune them based on feedback from the audience.


Hunt Smarter: Explainable AI for Threat Hunters and SOC Analysts in Splunk

AI-driven threat hunting is powerful. But if analysts don’t trust it, they won’t use it. This session unlocks Explainable AI (XAI) in Splunk to boost confidence, cut false positives, and speed up investigations. See how Cisco Secure Endpoint, Umbrella, and Firepower logs power AI-driven detections, and how SHAP values help explain why threats were flagged. Walk away with tools to make AI-powered security clear, actionable, and trusted.


Practical SOAR Examples from the Field: Part 2

A continuation of our critically acclaimed session from .conf24. Join us for another technical session covering our SOAR examples and learn how you can provide meaningful security automation to your customers. We’ll cover actual playbooks we have deployed, including real examples, implementation details, and key lessons from the field.
