Running an AI-Powered SOC and Going Passwordless with Equifax EVP & CISO Jeremy Koppen
On the 45th episode of Enterprise AI Defenders, hosts Evan Reiser (CEO and co-founder, Abnormal AI ) and Mike Britton (CIO, Abnormal AI ) talk with Jeremy Koppen , EVP & Global CISO at Equifax . Equifax is one of the three major consumer credit bureaus and a global data, analytics, and identity-verification company that safeguards credit and identity information on hundreds of millions of consumers and businesses worldwide. Jeremy explains how an agentic AI system now closes roughly 50% of his SOC's tickets, why Equifax removed passwords for employees, and how bringing security into product design early has become a defensive advantage. Quick Hits from Jeremy: On building security in early: "adding in those security features is much easier at that phase than trying to bolt them on later" On removing root causes: "we've deployed passwordless to employees" On the autonomous SOC: "it is closing approximately 50% of our tickets" Book Recommendation: Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss Like what you hear?
