AI impact on this career
AI is already being leveraged for automated threat detection and triage, shifting analyst focus from low-level log monitoring to advanced investigation and response orchestration. While AI reduces false positives through behavioral analytics, it also enables more sophisticated, AI-driven attacker tactics, requiring analysts to master adversarial AI techniques. The role is evolving away from manual scanning toward strategic incident handling and proactive defense architecture, meaning AI is not replacing analysts but reshaping their daily tasks toward higher-skilled decisions.
