Security services are overdue for a renaissance, and it's a $100B opportunity. Security needs to be more offensive to keep up with the growing complexity of attack vectors. Given the massive (and growing) security labor gap, this transformation will only be possible with AI. Nearly 5M unfilled security jobs won't be filled overnight! Machine learning has the potential to revolutionize traditional security services like penetration testing, MDR, and MSPs, making them scalable and autonomous. There is already a new generation of security companies building with this attitude in mind. If you’re one of them, I’d love to talk. cc Daniel Bartus Nancy Wang https://lnkd.in/g6WU6hUu

This is an interesting point, in the short term AI can help bridge the gap of talent shortage in security wearing the "services" mask. However, in its current trajectory, AI is going to make "human oriented" security controls harder. While pentesting, red teaming become easy with AI, so does the attacker. The same tool is being used by the real dark side of the internet. To cope, defensive security software will be forced to mature enough, that using AI will not simply be of any advantage. If we observe the security industry over the past decade, starting with XSS, SQLi, tools like Burp Suite made them very easy to simulate and find. But at an equal pace the defensive capability got built into the development process, making these vulns almost obsolete. As a former penetration tester myself, that job is getting only harder in the long term. We need security solutions that tackle these new AI era problems at a fundamental levels.
