Security teams are being sold AI-powered everything: AI SOC analysts, AI threat detection, AI automation, AI copilots. But how much of this represents genuine capability?

This talk examines:

- Common AI-washing patterns in security products
- Rebranded classical ML
- LLM wrappers around existing workflows
- AI summarization marketed as automation
- Rule engines labeled as AI

We also provide:

- Technical evaluation frameworks
- Questions to ask vendors
- POC testing strategies
- Red flags in demos and documentation

This session aims to provide practitioners with a practical, technical approach to evaluating AI claims in security tooling.

Security teams risk making major investments based on marketing claims. This talk helps practitioners evaluate AI claims with technical rigor.
