Director, Detection & Threat Response

At Allstate, great things happen when our people work together to protect families and their belongings from life’s uncertainties. And for more than 90 years, our innovative drive has kept us a step ahead of our customers’ evolving needs. From advocating for seat belts, air bags and graduated driving laws, to being an industry leader in pricing sophistication, telematics, and, more recently, device and identity protection. 

Imagine this.

• 7:02 a.m. A new intelligence report describes an MFA-bypass technique being used against financial services firms. Within two minutes it is scored against Allstate’s priority intelligence requirements and flagged as relevant, and an automated hunt launches across identity and email telemetry.

• 7:09 a.m. The hunt gets a hit: one account shows the technique’s pattern. An AI agent opens the investigation immediately, pulls identity and device context, runs the pivots a senior analyst would run, and reaches a high-confidence verdict with a full evidence trail.

• 7:11 a.m. Contained. The verdict meets the bar for a pre-approved, reversible response, so the system acts on its own: active sessions revoked, credentials reset, account temporarily locked. Nine minutes from first intelligence to containment.

• 7:16 a.m. An analyst reviews the evidence and the actions taken, confirms the call, and reaches out to the employee. Humans stay accountable for every automated action, without being the bottleneck for it.

• 8:02 a.m. An AI-drafted detection for the technique is waiting in an engineer’s review queue. It uses the real attack telemetry from the hunt as its test case, and has been backtested against 30 days of history for false positives. It arrives linked to the intelligence that prompted it, the attack path it closes, and its expected alert volume. The engineer approves it and the pipeline promotes it. Next time, nobody has to go hunting. It fires on its own.
