Doing defense is hard. Time and budget are both limited resources . On top of that, many (most!) organizations are getting owned, not because the miscreants are talented, but because we aren't doing the basics very well. And why not? Because doing the basics if really really repetitive and boring. It's just not sexy so most people don't want to work on it. Repetitive tasks are not only boring, but are also error prone which makes the situation even worse. So let's automate the shit out of the boring stuff so we can focus on the complex and sexy stuff. Or as Ian Amit says, let's make defense sexy. I'll show you some cool ways to let computers do the stuff they are good at so we humans can do the stuff we are good at. Not only will there be sexy defense, but also (as is traditional) baked goods as well.
