While superficially about a cybersecurity blog's anniversary, the article implies a future (2025) where significant 'comeuppance' was achieved against cybercriminals, suggesting increased effectiveness of cybersecurity measures, some of which are powered by AI and machine learning. This implies greater adoption of AI-driven threat detection, response, and vulnerability analysis, which directly impacts the cybersecurity landscape and its ability to automate defenses against evolving threats.
For the cybersecurity sector, this suggests a growing market for AI-based solutions, increased competition among vendors, and a greater focus on AI explainability and bias detection to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of these systems in identifying and responding to threats.
Security operations centers (SOCs) that are using AI to detect anomalies and respond to threats will need to be updated to deal with the new tactics that cybercriminals will likely deploy. Threat intelligence feeds focused on AI-driven attacks become more valuable, demanding better automation to consume and react to such feeds.
