Are you speaking AI's language?
Remember when you first started in cybersecurity? The overwhelming amount of things to learn, the constant alerts, the race to patch vulnerabilities?
Now imagine having a tireless assistant to help with all that. That's what AI can be - if you know how to work with it effectively.
Regardless of your role in cybersecurity, AI can amplify your capabilities. It's not about replacing your expertise, but extending it.
The secret? Task your AI sidekick bit by bit. Break down complex problems into smaller steps. For example:
SOC analysts: First, ask AI to summarize an alert. Then, request potential next steps.
Threat hunters: Start by having AI identify data types. Then, ask it to spot anomalies.
Pen testers: Begin with AI suggesting potential vulnerabilities. Follow up by requesting specific exploit ideas.
Policy writers: Ask AI to outline key points first. Then, expand each point iteratively.
Incident responders: Use AI to draft a timeline, then flesh out details for each event.
Remember: be clear in your instructions, provide context, and always verify the AI's output.
What's one cyber task you'd like to break down for AI assistance? I'm keen to hear your ideas.
Cheers, Craig
