AI and Cybersecurity – Everything You Wanted to Know, But Were Afraid to Ask
To better understand the current state of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity, SecurityWeek spoke with dozens of security practitioners, researchers, vendors, analysts, and AI experts.
The result is a comprehensive snapshot of how AI is being used across the security landscape today.
Organized into five key topic areas, this report examines the role of AI through multiple lenses: whether it can be trusted, how organizations are using it, how it can be misused by legitimate insiders, how it is being exploited by cyber adversaries, and where the technology is likely headed next.
The five topics are:
- Generative AI (gen-AI)
- Agentic AI
- Shadow AI
- Machine learning (ML)
- Artificial general intelligence (AGI)
Taken together, these perspectives provide a practical assessment of AI’s opportunities, risks, and likely evolution in cybersecurity.
