"The hard truth is that AI has become a serious force multiplier for both sides. In my own work, I have been writing about the shift from human-operated intrusion sets to AI orchestrated campaigns where LLMs are effectively the primary operator and the human becomes simply a prompter and supervisor. Ignoring AI is, of course, a choice, but it's not a neutral one. It means falling behind in a race where the other team is not planning on giving you a break."
"The reality is we never see the boasts 'computer-controlled', 'digital' or 'electronic' anymore, and I fully expect the marketing buzz around 'AI-powered' to go the same way. Over the next 12 to 24 months, AI will become a baseline expectation, the silent engine that quietly rewires how technology operates without needing to be explicitly named. Any organisation that goes all-in on marketing themselves as 'AI' is massively missing the point. The value is not derived from the technology itself, but the utility it provides."
AI-powered tools now permeate security operations and act as a force multiplier for defenders and attackers alike. Large language models can orchestrate campaigns, reducing humans to prompters and supervisors. Choosing to ignore AI risks falling behind adversaries who will use it. Marketing has drenched products with 'AI' labels, repackaging existing analytics and correlation features. Over time AI will become a baseline, quietly rewiring technology without explicit naming. Value comes from practical utility rather than the AI label. Buyers should focus on actual work problems—such as alert triage, investigation toil, and vulnerability noise—and prioritize solutions that reduce organisational burden.
