About the Workshop
Threat Hunting Management Workshop 9: The AI Advantage… And The Fine Print is a scenario-based virtual session that examines where artificial intelligence delivers genuine operational value in threat hunting and where human judgment remains essential. The ninth installment in Intel 471’s threat hunting management series, this workshop moves beyond theoretical discussion to provide actionable frameworks participants can apply directly to their security operations.
Scott Poley, Principal Threat Hunt Account Manager at Intel 471, leads the session. The workshop format emphasizes real-world scenarios rather than slide presentations, with attendees working through practical exercises designed to improve collaboration between threat intelligence and threat hunting functions.
Bridging Intelligence and Hunt Operations
A central theme of the workshop is the operational disconnect that often exists between threat intelligence teams and threat hunters. Many organizations struggle to translate intelligence findings into effective hunt activities, resulting in poorly prioritized efforts and outcomes that are difficult to measure. The session addresses this challenge by teaching participants how to strengthen hunt requirements, improve threat prioritization and tie intelligence directly to operational results.
The workshop references common security platforms including SIEM, EDR and NDR in the context of developing hunt packages, helping participants understand how AI-assisted techniques integrate with existing tooling.
AI Capabilities and Limitations
Rather than presenting AI as a universal solution, the workshop takes a balanced approach by examining both the advantages and limitations of AI in threat hunting contexts. Participants will learn to identify scenarios where AI enhances efficiency and accuracy alongside situations where human analysis and judgment remain critical. This practical assessment helps security teams make informed decisions about incorporating AI into their workflows without overestimating its capabilities.
Who Should Attend
The workshop is designed for practitioners and leaders involved in threat hunting and threat intelligence functions. This includes threat hunters, threat intelligence analysts, SOC analysts, security managers and CISOs. Organizations likely to benefit include enterprises, managed security service providers and security teams operating in regulated industries where effective threat detection is essential.
