Col. Frank Jamerson, the department\u2019s deputy director for cyber operations, command and control, communications and battle management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe compliance analyst doesn\u2019t necessarily have to read every document,\u201d Jamerson said Thursday at the AITalks conference, presented by AIScoop. \u201cThey can look at the output from the tool that says, \u2018Yep, they\u2019re in compliance because they did this thing\u2019 and click bullet formats \u2014 we all love doing that \u2014 and bulletize this. So that\u2019s one of the exciting things we\u2019re looking at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the State Department\u2019s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, there\u2019s a lot of \u201cdata we are digesting,\u201d said Manny Medrano, director of cyber monitoring and operations at the bureau. AI allows analysts to analyze it faster, and in turn \u201cgives the analyst time to work on the more complicated\u201d tasks, he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>More broadly, AI is viewed as being a double-edged sword in cybersecurity, one that can bolster both defensive and offensive operations.
