Will Artificial Intelligence take over Cybersecurity Jobs?

While many prognosticators foretell AI taking over our technology-based tasks, I think a more accurate near-term prediction includes AI supporting technology folks to be BETTER at their tasks. Let me give you an example:

This year, an excellent cybersecurity company (Checkpoint) came out with Infinity AI Copilot. Its purpose is to augment your existing cyber personnel and allow them to be more efficient & knowledgeable. Your team can leverage it to provide in context answers to questions about your environment & potential threats against it. ?

I’m including screen shots from Checkpoint’s CPX 2024 Presentation which can be found here: CPX 2024: New Product Announcements - YouTube.

In this example, a Cybersecurity engineer (or potentially an IT person) asks Infinity Copilot about a specific vulnerability and if their environment is protected. Since the AI system has visibility to the security ecosystem, it can answer authoritatively that all systems are protected.

The next question is if there are any recorded instances of threats attempting to exploit this vulnerability? Again, since this data is available the system returns information related directly to threat.

?

This is an excellent way to leverage AI to support your Cybersecurity operations and increase your security posture without raising headcount. Cyber solutions on the market today are finding creative ways to use AI and I think Checkpoint is on the right track.

If you’d like to talk more about how Checkpoint can help secure your environment or how your current security solution leverages AI, reach out to me and I’d be happy to chat with you.
