Cybersecurity is behind in the AI arms race — and that gap is widening 

We keep asking if GenAI is safe to use… while attackers are already building tools with it. That hesitation is now our vulnerability.
Here’s the crux:
Threat actors are rapidly deploying GenAI to speed up malware development, phishing campaigns, and payload obfuscation
Meanwhile, defenders are still stuck in debate mode — bogged down by compliance concerns, talent shortages, and legacy tooling
There’s a real shortage of security-specific AI tools that are both trustworthy and actionable
If we want to keep pace, we need AI that helps junior analysts move faster, closes visibility gaps, and supports decisions—not just automation for automation’s sake
We don’t just need to adopt AI—we need to own it. And that starts with investment, mindset, and responsible design.
Are your security teams equipped to use AI on purpose—or are they still playing catch-up?
