For now, cybersecurity is safe.
However, a couple AI in 2/3/5 year prediction articles have extrapolated that once autonomous offensive agentic AI-driven cybersecurity threats become a real thing that defensive cybersecurity will have to match and become less human and more AI and autonomous like its offensive counterpart.
Keep drinking the Koolaid. Try not to be a complete anti social dumb ass when you make friends with AI characters and make love to them. It will never replace cybersecurity, network and cloud architects, all companies are uniquely build where AI can’t just automate shit to replace 4 positions. Please people don’t listen and believe these jokers.
I keep reminding everyone that "AI" at this point in time is a misnomer. LLM's are, at heart, advanced pattern recognition. The reason I mention that is that AI requires training to adjust to new conditions. It does not have the initiative to learn on its own. I'm guessing that's at least a decade away. Maybe more. Until then, we're still necessary to a properly future-proofed security architecture.
This isn’t entirely true. My company is already doing this. It’s not 10 years away, it’s already here in some scenarios. I don’t know about cybersecurity specifically, but I do know our tech is extensible and could be applied within cybersecurity for extended memory and learning.
I'm sure everyone has thought about that to some extent. I'm generally skeptical of all the AI hype, but I recognize that some jobs will be lost to it. It's likely that jobs that require human judgment will be safe. I was reading something recently that predicted AI will probably be used mostly to do jobs that no one is doing now, as those tasks, such as analyzing large sets of documents, would be too labor intensive. I thought that was an interesting take on it.
Oh yea? Please provide some examples and don’t tell me code writing and order takers at fast food places. Any specialty job it will not replace, especially engineers that have anything to do with specialized mechanics. Perhaps make a career switch.
Yep. I worry about it often. But if my job is in jeopardy, so is just about every other white collar worker’s. I’m not going to try and learn to be a carpenter or mechanic or something unless I have to.
I worry but also not for a few more years (at least)
I believe so too!
That’s why I jumped in head first to AI. I figured I could either be replaced or start a company driving AI for good. I chose the later. I’m one year in, we just wrapped development on our core services and developed three novel AI models we’re deploying to production. We’re patent pending on one technology, with several others to work through, and getting ready to launch into several major franchises. Also working on some integrations that could potentially have us touching aerospace, defense, manufacturing, healthcare, utilities, etc.
Point being you can either keep making chuck wagons or you can embrace combustion engines. It’s a similar scenario.

Totally valid worry. AI’s impact is real, but in cybersecurity it’s more likely to change how you work than replace you. People who learn to use it well will probably stay in demand.
This is what’s happening to me. This year I’ve been blessed to have been given 3 different job offers between $145-180k a year in a less cost of living area then California, Washington, New York or Chicago.
People tend to worry about things that don’t impact them directly
