Cybersecurity expert Kayne McGladrey speaks about why AI cannot do what creative people can, and the important role of generative AI in SOCs.
Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Fellow and cybersecurity veteran with more than 25 years of experience, asserts that the human element - particularly people with diverse interests, backgrounds and talents - is irreplaceable in cybersecurity.
How do you think AI will affect cybersecurity job prospects, especially at tier 1?
