Network Vulnerability Assessment is often treated as a point-in-time exercise—but real environments don’t stand still. Between long scan cycles, two things are constantly changing: network devices drift as configurations and versions evolve, and the world around them shifts as new vulnerabilities are disclosed.

Richard Bejtlich sits down with Stan Kiefer, Corelight’s Senior Manager for Data Science, to discuss how AI serves as a vital "abstraction layer" and "knowledge multiplier" for security analysts. Stan explains that while AI can synthesize complex information, it remains untrustworthy without high-fidelity network data at its center to provide verifiable evidence. The episode explores the shift toward an "agentic ecosystem" and a tiered architecture where a central orchestrator manages specialized sub-agents to accelerate detection and investigation.
