Gaming to Cybersecurity: How AI Agents Fight Alert Overload

What if you could hire an army of AI security analysts that work 24/7 investigating alerts so your human team can focus on what actually matters? Edward Wu, founder and CEO of DropZone AI, joins The Audit crew to reveal how large language models are transforming security operations—and why the future of cyber defense looks more like a drone war than traditional SOC work.

From his eight years at AttackIQ generating millions of security alerts (and the fatigue that came with them), Edward built DropZone to solve the problem he helped create: alert overload. This conversation goes deep on AI agents specializing in different security domains, the asymmetry problem between attackers and defenders, and why deepfakes might require us to use "safe words" before every Zoom call.

What You'll Learn:

How AI tier-1 analysts automate 90% of alert triage to find real threats faster
Why attackers only need to be right once, but AI can level the playing field
Real-world deepfake attacks hitting finance teams right now
The societal implications of AI-driven social engineering at scale
Whether superintelligence will unlock warp engines or just better spreadsheets

If alert fatigue is crushing your security team, this episode delivers the blueprint for fighting back with AI. Hit subscribe for more conversations with security leaders who are actually building the future—not just talking about it.
