Rachel James, AbbVie: Harnessing AI for corporate cybersecurity

AbbVie's cybersecurity team, led by Principal AI/ML Threat Intelligence Engineer Rachel James, is leveraging large language models (LLMs) and AI-driven threat intelligence platforms like OpenCTI to enhance threat detection and gap analysis. By analyzing vast amounts of security alerts, the team uses LLMs to identify patterns, duplicates, and vulnerabilities more efficiently, enabling proactive defense measures before attackers can exploit weaknesses. This approach exemplifies how AI, particularly LLMs and structured threat intelligence frameworks like STIX, is transforming cybersecurity from reactive to predictive, allowing organizations to synthesize unstructured data into actionable insights
