In a world where humans are still trying to fix their printers, cybercriminals have embraced the future by letting AI automate their sinister deeds. Why bother with outdated hacking techniques when you can just have an AI do all the heavy lifting while you binge-watch true crime documentaries for inspiration?

Security teams everywhere are drowning in the digital equivalent of the trash island in the Pacific, also known as ‘vulnerability data’. This is thanks to the commendable AI that generates alerts like a toddler on a sugar high. It adds a touch of mystery to cybersecurity as defenders are left guessing which alert actually matters.

Of course, in the epic battle of human versus machine, AI’s greatest contribution to the defenders seems to be the ability to quickly sift through haystacks of false alarms to find that one needle of an actual threat. It’s like a dystopian gardening competition with everyone racing to get poked first.
