Today PWC published a report which stated that AI will create as many jobs as it displaces by boosting economic growth. In response to the release of this report, Matt Walmsley, EMEA Director at Vectra – a company that automates the hunt for cyber threats by using AI – has provided commentary on how AI is helping to create new cybersecurity jobs.
Matt Walmsley, EMEA Director at Vectra:
We are seeing enterprises actively deploying AI platforms to support junior staff in front-line cybersecurity operations roles. In some cases, even utilising graduate program interns. AI helps these less technically experienced, but still savvy staff, to teach on the job and augment them with intelligent supporting technology. These are people who traditionally would be unable to take on these positions without significant further education, professional development, and substantial experience. This enables them to quickly ramp up to being productive members of the cybersecurity team by using AI to empower them.”
