Talk overview

This short presentation frames threat remediation as an ecosystem problem: rather than treating every IoC individually, the talk outlines AI-assisted strategies to identify and clear recurring malicious infrastructure at scale. Topics include prioritization heuristics, automation patterns for coordinated takedowns, and measures to protect native ecosystem services.
