Defensive artificial intelligence can process large volumes of telemetry, identify unusual behavior, summarize evidence and recommend or execute bounded response steps. It can give defenders more speed when attacks generate more events than people can examine manually.
The system must be resilient to adversarial inputs and operational mistakes. Defensive automation should use least privilege, independent validation and human escalation because a false conclusion can block legitimate activity or conceal an actual compromise.
