According to the Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/reports.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_Global_Cybersecurity_Outlook_2025.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">42 percent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of organizations have reported experiencing phishing or social engineering attacks within the previous year.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Those with experience will recognize this pattern, as most cybercriminals do not begin an attack by attempting to hack an organization; rather, they do so through the use of human manipulation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Human_Role_in_Cybersecurity\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>The Human Role in Cybersecurity<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Human judgment will remain the cornerstone of most cyber operations, despite many recent advancements in automation. For example, the beginning of an incident can often be as simple as&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The email looks legitimate<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The request appears to be urgent<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">An executive is requesting assistance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Although AI is becoming increasingly relevant to cybersecurity, it cannot replace the human element in terms of context and decision-making. Automated security tools are capable of identifying anomalies, but the final judgment often lies with someone who is physically present in the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many organizations now track behavioral risk signals using applications such as Threatcop <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/threatcop-learning-management-system\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TLMS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to quantify employee awareness and behavioral patterns related to high-risk activities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Today, the security perimeter is not made up solely of networks and devices; it includes people as well.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"AI_in_Security_Operations\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>AI in Security Operations<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">AI plays a significant role in security operations centers as well. Security analysts operate on a daily basis with an estimated 1,000 alerts from both internal and external sources. A majority of these alerts are harmless and quickly resolve themselves. Consequently, time spent sorting through these alerts also decreases. AI provides value by eliminating the noise created by false alarms.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Machine learning systems are increasingly being integrated into the work of modern security teams as a method for assisting their security analysts with:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">an automated prioritization of alerts<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">an automated detection of anomalies<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">an automated correlation of threats across systems<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Automation in these areas allows analysts to allocate more time towards complex investigations, reducing the amount of time spent performing tedious and low-value tasks and instead focusing their time and effort on higher-value activities.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Threat reporting tools, such as Threatcop <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/threatcop.com\/threatcop-phishing-incident-response\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TPIR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, are also improving the efficiency and speed at which employees can submit potentially suspicious email messages, facilitating earlier detection of these types of threats throughout an organization.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Hybrid_Security_Model\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>The Hybrid Security Model<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The most effective form of security in an organization does not rely solely on technology or on humans; it relies on using a combination of the two.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As such, there is a growing trend for organizations to adopt a hybrid security model where:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">AI identifies patterns and potential threats<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">security analysts verify the context and intent of these threats<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">feedback from the security analysts improve detection systems going forward&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This combination (AI and security analyst) is what will define the future of AI in the field of cybersecurity.
