AI is fundamentally changing cybersecurity, so we surveyed 100 security leaders to see how. Here's what we learned: -- Last year AI was not a priority. Now AI initiatives are ALL of the top 7 priorities for cos: AI SOC, AI code sec, AI observability, etc. -- Orgs want AI + humans in the loop today, but security leaders think they will increasingly trust AI to do more of the work. 36% are comfortable letting agents take on low risk actions today, thats expected to rise to 60% next year. -- Humans are still important! About half of orgs expect to expand their security teams. Only 4% expect teams to shrink. There is just more work to do. -- As cybersecurity risk increases, budgets are going up too. 87% expect to spend more on security next year, driven by both AI threats and the need to secure their own AI deployments. -- A lot of this is still early. For most AI security categories, just 10-20% have AI tools in production, but over the next 1-3 years, that is expected to increase to 40-60%. Many are piloting now and deciding what to buy over the next year. This was an incredibly fun survey to run with @steph_zhang. Special thanks to @zanelackey, @YODELAGARZA, & @DavidGeorge83.
