Introduction

Guests:

• Umesh Shankar, Distinguished Engineer, Chief Technologist for Google Cloud Security

• Scott Coull, Head of Data Science Research, Google Cloud Security

Topics:

• What does it mean to "teach AI security"? How did we make SecLM? And also: why did we make SecLM?

• What can "security trained LLM" do better vs regular LLM?

• Does making it better at security make it worse at other things that we care about?

• What can a security team do with it today? What are the "starter use cases" for SecLM?

• What has been the feedback so far in terms of impact - both from practitioners but also from team leaders?

• Are we seeing the limits of LLMs for our use cases? Is the "LLM is not magic" finally dawning?
