LinkedIn’s Skills on the Rise report says, AI literacy will continue to be the skill that “professionals are prioritizing and companies are increasingly hiring for.”
AI isn’t a new technology, but it’s hitting the Cybersecurity job market fast and hard. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, there will be 3.5 million unfilled jobs in the cybersecurity industry through 2025, a 350 percent growth from the one million open positions reported in 2013.
If professionals want to keep their jobs—or future-proof themselves from potential displacement—they must equip themselves with AI-centric skills as soon as possible.
AI might be evolving what “analysis” looks like in cybersecurity, but it’s not ready to fully replace the necessity of human intervention. With AI handling the workload of detecting and aggregating information, human analysts will commit their time and expertise to interpretation, intent modeling, and escalation decision-making.
