Disillusionment with Generative AI in Security Operations
Generative AI has faced significant skepticism within security operations, in contrast to its prevalent discussions at prior conferences. Many security professionals express disillusionment due to unmet expectations, as several demonstrations have overpromised and underdelivered.
