This Isn’t a Trend. It’s a Transformation.
When we look back, this shift to AI in security is going to feel obvious. Just like continuous integration, cloud compute, or even search did. We’re not there yet—but the trajectory is clear.
AI That Doesn’t Just Detect—It Advises
Security Copilot is already answering “what happened” and “what do I do.” Next up: “how bad is this for the business” and “what’s the most cost-effective fix.” That’s where things get interesting. Decision support, not just technical triage.
We’ll Build Systems Differently Because of It
Just like software changed when cloud-native became the norm, security systems will start to assume AI is part of the stack. You’ll design your telemetry, access policies, and remediation loops with LLMs in mind from the start.
Waiting Means Starting Behind
There’s a learning curve here—not just for tools, but for teams. If you start now, you build that fluency. You find the limits and the leverage points. If you wait, you’re playing catch-up in a game that’s moving fast.
That’s the real bet: not on the tool, but on the capability curve it unlocks.
