- AI/ML for security: anomaly/baseline detection, LLM-assisted triage (summaries, hypotheses, IOCs), controlled SPL generation, enrichment agents (Assets/Identities/TI), AI governance (explainability, drift).
- Zero Trust & Compliance: light UEBA signals with RBA, NIS2/DORA/ISO 27001 steering dashboards, runbooks & training.
