The year 2023 was a big year for cyber security professionals in Australia.

Experts from Rapid7 have argued that Australia can expect both advantages and risks from AI cyber tools in 2024.

The use of AI and automation will accelerate in cyber security in 2024.

With problems including hallucinations and variables such as whether a model uses open source or in-house data, Rapid7 recommends looking at each cyber security tool that uses AI on its own merits to assess the benefits and risks of using it for the organisation.

A lack of in-house cyber security resources and competencies will combine to make them softer targets than some of Australia's larger, better-protected organisations and sectors, said Dooley.

Dooley said the mid-market is where businesses could extend a security operations centre methodology; organisations with small cyber teams could team up with a global partner with access to the tech, people and skill set to run a security program around the clock.
