Organizations recognize the potential in adopting AI both for general use and for their security platforms in general. Many see AI tools as a possible way to streamline everyday tasks, freeing up administrators and security professionals to focus on broader, long-term strategic matters. There are, however, concerns around just how difficult it will be to successfully integrate AI into their existing security solutions. Organizations also worry that they may lack the needed skills to effectively administer their AI tools. This month’s Cybersecurity Buyer Intelligence Report is based on an online survey conducted in September 2024 among 192 security and IT leaders and executives, practitioners, administrators, and compliance professionals in North America from CRA’s Business Intelligence research panel. The objective of this study was to explore various topics related to organizations’ adoption and implementation of AI-based cybersecurity tools, including their concerns, benefits, and challenges. The survey also explored respondents’ opinions about the use of AI by threat actors.
