ISC2 Seattle Chapter February Meeting - Secure systems in the age of AI

The Age of AI is seemingly upon us. How do we secure our systems?

How do we use the apparent magic of LLMs to help us threat model? What are the challenges? What works? What doesn’t? This 2026 talk contextualizes and models LLMs as friend and foe, and then focuses on how to use LLMs as we develop more secure systems.
