Topic: AI-Human-in-the-Loop IR: Balancing AI Automation with Control and Compliance
Abstract: As AI-driven automation becomes central to modern Incident Response (IR), organizations face a critical challenge associated to lack of human oversight and control. Over-automated response can introduce compliance risks, opaque decision-making, and unintended business impact. The current webinar explores Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Incident Response as a pragmatic operating model that balances AI-powered speed with human oversight. It aims to understand as to where AI excels in IR workflows i.e., detection, triage, enrichment, and response orchestration, and where human intervention remains essential for risk acceptance, escalation, evidence handling, and regulatory alignment. Join us to gain insights into designing HITL IR playbooks, mapping AI decisions to governance and audit requirements, and aligning automation with existing security frameworks, and SOC operating models.
Key takeaways:
- Defining Human-in-the loop HITL IR and its scope
- How to integrate accountability in automation and AI-driven IR
- Role of HITL in improving compliance posture
- Combining AI insights with human context for agile IR
- Operationalizing HITL by design in IR playbook
- Future-ready SOC by blending AI and expertise
