AI in Cybersecurity: Powerful Ally or Unreliable Gatekeeper?
AI in cybersecurity is like a hyperactive intern—great at spotting patterns and working fast, but not always reliable for decision-making. While it’s excellent at identifying threats, AI can’t be the sole gatekeeper. It should assist, not replace, human judgment and deterministic systems, ensuring security remains both efficient and accountable.
Hot Take:
AI in cybersecurity is like a superhero with a magnifying glass—great at spotting trouble, but still needs a sidekick with a trusty rulebook to save the day!
Key Points:
- By 2025, 60% of organizations are expected to use AI in their IT infrastructure for cybersecurity.
- AI excels in the “sense and think” plane but struggles with the “decide and act” plane due to its non-deterministic nature.
- AI’s unpredictability can lead to inconsistent enforcement and audit challenges.
- Organizations should apply a determinism test before integrating AI into control steps.
- AI should enhance security processes, but deterministic systems and human oversight must govern critical actions.
