Security industry leaders believe that AI and automation technologies are critical to addressing the complexities of modern security operations, according to Anomali.

Security analysts maintain that up to 57% of their daily tasks could be automated - while 76% of respondents think that AI technology will deliver faster threat detection and personal productivity gains.

47% of respondents reported that their current security operations centers do not provide adequate infrastructure visibility, which is critical for detecting and responding to malicious activities, and 87% would like to see multiple technologies consolidated into a single platform to empower the security analyst workflow.

Many pointed out they want to be more concrete about what they are getting and what they can do - a professionalization of their security investments.

"Generative AI holds immense potential for security professionals. It is already unlocking transformative capabilities that materially enhance security operations," said Christian Karam, former CISO at UBS and current senior advisor to Anomali.

"Automating important tasks avails analysts more time to do advanced threat hunting and premium security analytics, while also giving management a layman assessment of their threat landscape. In tandem, the time has come to consolidate legacy technology stacks in one platform that attains more visibility and derives more impactful actions to protect and drive organizations."
