When listening to industry watchers extolling the promises of AI, you’d expect cybersecurity experts to soon be obsolete. AI will securely configure systems, detect abnormal behavior and react faster than any human ever can.
These predictions all suffer from one glaring omission, though. Humans and human behavior are an essential component of any and all cybersecurity activities, whether they are offensive or defensive in nature. As long as businesses deal with employees and customers (and chances are that they will forever), cybersecurity must adapt to their behaviors and habits—good or bad.
That’s why we can be confident in expecting that humans will stay in the loop and indeed be needed for the foreseeable future. AI is not the big job-killer it’s made out to be. On the contrary, as this piece will explore, it will increase the demand for cybersecurity experts, especially those who can communicate and relate well to others.
