Recently, AI threat detection has become more popular. AI-powered devices can assign memory scanning and other security-related tasks to the GPU, saving resources and energy. This also leaves the CPU free for the user’s workload. But is it the future of cybersecurity?

Not sure that AI is good enough to be given this responsibility alone. Definitely still need humans watching, but as AI / security algos get better, then yes, I think it is the only thing that will be able to keep up with AI-powered bad actors.

I agree, human intervention at this point is necessary. Haven’t seen it personally, so not sure if it is just a bunch of hullaballoo but there have been reports of lazy devs and AI.

Just prompt for code, don’t understand what it does, push to prod. What could go wrong? (Could be wrong about this statement but I wouldn’t be shocked if it is true).

Same mindset.

EDIT: Obligatory “Not all devs” of course.

I actually watch a a few security researchers on Twitch.tv and there’s one person named BlaiseBits who leverages Lang-graph for automated pen testing. It’s pretty interesting to see, however, it’s still experimental.

Here’s to hoping AI won’t fully power pentests.

If it doesn’t see itself as a threat, it isn’t working hard enough.

I agree, humans are still needed to provide guidance for automated assets. Also, I think IT pros/Security pros still have the most important job!

AI and automating development still remain to be perfected! Human oversight is still needed.

I don’t think it’s the future, however it’s one of the tools in a the IT quiver. Like EDR/MDR a multi staged security strategy covers all your bases, or as much as possible. having 4 anti virus tools may not be the best idea, but everything starts at the physical layer so if you look at intel-vpro they are doing hardware protection from ransomware at the CPU level, which still blows my mind.

AI is still stars with a programmer who is not a robot and is faulty so there is no perfect solution. I think it’s the buzzword that people are using, I am curious what will happen when it doesn’t create a whole new world people think it will.
