Muhammad Yahya Patel, lead security engineer at Check Point Software, commented: “AI will certainly play a supportive role, automating certain daily tasks and enhancing different cybersecurity roles. However, there are human elements that AI simply cannot replace, and it’s unlikely that organizations will place their full trust in machines alone for their security.”

Tim Morris, chief security advisor for the Americas at Tanium, agreed: “While AI can process and analyze vast amounts of data, it lacks human intuition and experience and cannot interpret nuances beyond the data presented.”

Jamie Moles, senior technical manager at ExtraHop, told CSO: “Humans are still able to offer crucial insights and identify patterns that robots cannot. As a result, humans are the linchpin that oversees several, largely autonomous, systems.”
