SIEM migration is tedious, time-consuming, and pulls security professionals away from actual security work. Manually exporting thousands of detection rules, translating query logic, and fixing errors can take weeks or months. In this episode of AI can do what now?!, Haran Kumar (principal security solutions architect at Elastic) walks through how AI actually helps automate SIEM migration. Here's what you'll learn: - How LLMs and RAG automatically convert detection rules from SPL to ES|QL - Why Automatic Migration and Automatic Import features reduce manual work and errors - How AI handles bulk rule uploads, query translation, and ECS mapping - What still requires human review (and why that's important) - How to migrate dashboards and queries efficiently - This isn't about AI replacing security analysts. It's about automating the repetitive migration work so you can focus on threat detection instead of spending months on manual rule translation. - If you're stuck on a legacy SIEM that doesn't scale, but dread the migration process, this episode shows you a faster, less painful path forward. 0:00 – The Nightmare of SIEM Migrations 0:42 – Why Traditional SIEM Migrations Take Months 1:26 – How AI Is Transforming Rule Conversion 2:10 – Elastic’s Auto-Importer: What It Actually Does 3:02 – Uploading Splunk Rules and Letting AI Translate 4:12 – Error Reduction and Explanation Layer 5:03 – Handling Complex or Incomplete Legacy Rules 6:15 – How AI Educates Security Analysts During Migration 7:20 – Realistic Expectations and Limitations of AI-Driven Migration Additional Resources: Elastic Automatic Migration feature: (https://www.elastic.co/docs/solutions/security/get-started/automatic-migration) EASE your way into AI: (https://www.elastic.co/security/ease) Elastic AI Assistant: (https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/ai-assistant) #AIcybersecurity #securityAI #elasticsecurity
