@hacks4pancakes of course, there are plenty of snake oil security vendors out there who can't make a sale unless they convince the buyer that their product will replace employees.
Vendors who make that claim to me rarely have a follow-up conversation with me.
I have literally worked for years to fix that pipeline, but fuck it.
They want this? they'll end up with a pile of unmaintainable genai bullshit, and then I will charge them a shitload of money to tell them their baby is ugly.
This is offshoring all over again, and will have the same effects. Whole companies will fall (let's we forget quark express)
"It means analysts must keep growing and adapting to automation and adversary tactics."
You are damn right.
IMHO, more broadly that is a common and very ground point with all informatics domains: you can never stop to learn.
