Automation, AI, and Bridging the Cybersecurity Talent Gap with Mick Douglas

In the premiere episode of SOC Unlocked: Tales from the Cybersecurity Frontline, host and SOC expert Mick Leach chats with Mick Douglas, Managing Partner of InfoSec Innovations. The pair cover a range of topics including the current state of security operations, the role of automation and AI in the field, and the importance of using security tools effectively. They also delve into the talent gap in cybersecurity and how it can be addressed.

Insights

  • The talent gap in cybersecurity can be addressed by considering the security operations center (SOC) as a starting point for cybersecurity professionals.

  • AI is not replacing cybersecurity jobs, but those who can leverage AI may take over roles.

  • Automation and orchestration have been around for a while, but their full potential is often not realized due to reluctance in fully automating responses to alerts.
