In this episode, Richard Stiennon makes some bold predictions about the future of AI in Cybersecurity. Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity at an unprecedented pace, with large language models increasing in intelligence tenfold every 12 months and reaching a potential critical mass by 2027.

• SOC automation represents the most immediate and profound application of AI in cybersecurity
• Approximately 15 startups are developing AI solutions to replace tier-one SOC analysts
• AI will eventually enable 100% automated triage of security alerts
• The shift from tactical to strategic skills will be critical for cybersecurity professionals
• As defensive AI improves, cybercrime may dramatically decrease, forcing attackers to use more expensive human-based methods
• Major industry consolidation will likely occur as AI solutions demonstrate overwhelming effectiveness
• Nation-states will remain the primary threat actors as they can afford to develop counter-AI attack capabilities
