Will AI replace Information Security Analysts?

Why this score

AI systems are already performing log analysis, alert triage, vulnerability scanning, and initial incident classification that make up the daily work of most information security analysts. The economic case for automation is strong: enterprises can run AI-driven SOC platforms around the clock at a fraction of the cost of staffed analyst teams, and the technology is already good enough to handle the bulk of Tier 1 and Tier 2 security operations center work. Regulatory requirements for human accountability in security decisions are the main force slowing full displacement, but they protect a shrinking number of senior seats, not the broad analyst workforce. If your day-to-day consists primarily of monitoring dashboards and triaging alerts, the window to reposition is closing fast.
