Adding AI to a Security Toolkit: Start With Your Own Scripts

Open your shell history before you open a course catalog. The jq filters, the grep -v chains against Zeek logs, the PowerShell one-liners you paste into a ticket every week: that is your toolkit.

  • Start with existing scripts like jq filters and PowerShell one-liners before adding AI.
  • Enhance existing pipelines (threshold adjustment, obfuscated script decoding, LLM features) with AI.
  • Train team on data paths and manual attacks to effectively use LLM in security pipelines.

  • Anthropic releases Claude Sonnet 5.5 focusing on cost-efficiency
  • New model 30% faster and cheaper than Sonnet 5 for common tasks
  • Outperforms Sonnet 5 by 30% in agentic coding, 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0
