AI & Cyber Security: The New Dream Team

A very quick and simplistic overview of AI in Cyber Security.

Think of AI in cyber security like a sniffer dog at the airport, it doesn’t replace the security staff, but it spots the dodgy suitcase a mile away.

Instead of sifting through mountains of boring logs and alerts, AI keeps an eye out for the weird stuff: dodgy emails, strange login attempts, or a hacker poking around where they shouldn’t be.  It’s like having a super-fast colleague who never gets tired, never takes a tea break, and definitely doesn’t get distracted by TikTok.

But here’s the catch, AI isn’t magic.  It still needs humans to set the rules, sense-check the alerts, and make the smart calls.  Think of it as a trusty sidekick, not the hero of the story.

Bottom line: AI makes cyber security sharper, faster, and (dare we say it) a little less boring.
