Compass' Ryan Glynn on Why LLMs Shouldn't Make Security Decisions - But Should Power Them

Episode notes

Ryan Glynn , Staff Security Engineer at Compass , has a practical AI implementation strategy for security operations. His team built machine learning models that removed 95% of on-call burden from phishing triage by combining traditional ML techniques with LLM-powered semantic understanding. He also explores where AI agents excel versus where deterministic approaches still win, why tuning detection rules beats prompt-engineering agents, and how to build company-specific models that solve your actual security problems rather than chasing vendor promises about autonomous SOCs.
