Csoonline AI Transformation in Cybersecurity: Impacts on Employment and Operations
Article Content

The rise of AI is reshaping software development and is expected to impact cybersecurity significantly. A 2025 report indicated that 90% of developers used AI tools, leading to a 26% increase in productivity. However, this shift has resulted in a slowdown in coder employment growth, which is now 3% lower than pre-ChatGPT levels. Experts predict that cybersecurity will evolve with AI-driven security operations centers (SOCs) and new roles emerging, such as AI-governance specialists. Despite these advancements, the transition in cybersecurity is expected to be slower than in software development due to the need for reproducibility in security controls. The changes are already underway, with AI agents beginning to transform SOCs, but the full impact may take years to materialize.
