Security News > 2024 > February > ISC2 Research: Most Cybersecurity Professionals Expect AI to Impact Their Jobs

Most cybersecurity professionals believe AI will significantly impact their jobs, according to a new survey by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium; with only 35% of the respondents having already witnessed AI's effects on their jobs.

The impact is not necessarily a positive or negative impact, but rather an indicator that cybersecurity pros expect their jobs to change.

Survey respondents generally believe that AI will make cybersecurity jobs more efficient and will free up time for higher-value tasks by taking care of other tasks.

The adoption of AI is still in flux and will surely change a lot more as the market grows, falls or stabilizes, and cybersecurity professionals may be at the forefront of awareness about generative AI issues in the workplace since it affects both the threats they respond to and the tools they use for work.

A slim majority of cybersecurity professionals surveyed said they feel confident they could lead the rollout of AI in their organization.

"Cybersecurity professionals anticipate both the opportunities and challenges AI presents, and are concerned their organizations lack the expertise and awareness to introduce AI into their operations securely," said ISC2 CEO Clar Rosso in a press release.
