Last week in Mumbai, at Taj Santacruz Mumbai, ETCISO in collaboration with SecurityHQ brought together a select group of security leaders for a closed-door roundtable on:

Leveraging AI to Strengthen Threat Investigation and Response

As threat landscapes grow more targeted and complex, one theme was clear across the room: security operations can no longer scale with traditional approaches alone.

The discussion moved beyond theory into real-world applications, where leaders shared how AI is actively reshaping investigation and response workflows:

* Where AI is already delivering measurable impact across SOC environments
* Using AI to connect signals, enrich context, and reduce investigation time
* Navigating the balance between automation and human judgment in critical scenarios
* Operationalizing AI within existing SOC structures without disruption
* Responding to increasingly targeted, sector-specific threat patterns

A key takeaway: AI is not replacing analysts, it is redefining how they operate.
The focus is shifting toward faster decision-making, deeper context, and more resilient response frameworks.

What made the evening particularly valuable was the candid exchange of experiences, what’s working, what isn’t, and where organizations are still navigating uncertainty.

The session concluded with meaningful peer interactions over dinner and cocktails, reinforcing the importance of trusted conversations in an evolving security landscape.

A sincere thank you to all participating leaders for contributing to such an insightful dialogue.
