        • S3 Ep42: [LIVE] AI for Security Teams: Scaling Impact Without Losing Control
          In this episode of Out of the Woods, we explored how AI is reshaping security operations beyond threat hunting. We highlighted real progress in insider threat detection, faster triage, and incident response while underscoring the ongoing need for human judgment. We also addressed integration challenges, tool sprawl, skill gaps, and risks such as hallucinations, bias, and deepfakes, before closing with what to expect as regulations tighten and attackers continue to weaponize AI.

                Scott Poley and Tom Kostura are joined by Ben McGavin, Threat Hunting Team Lead at RSM Defense, and Justin Dolgos, Senior Threat Hunter at RSM Defense, for a conversation on what it takes to build and run a threat hunting program inside an MSSP.

                They walk through how their team prioritizes hunts, manages detection logic across multi-tenant environments, and scales their approach through SoC collaboration and hypothesis-driven routines. Ben shares how the program was built from scratch, and Justin breaks down the lessons learned moving from alert triage into full-time threat hunting. They also cover tooling gaps, visibility challenges, and how custom detections have become a key success metric for their team.

                This episode offers practical insight from two hunters operating at the heart of a fast-moving MSSP environment.
