    Will AI Replace Cybersecurity Jobs? I Went Through the Data

    Send us Fan Mail Everyone's asking the wrong question about AI and cybersecurity careers. The question isn't whether AI will replace you — it's which new jobs AI is creating that didn't exist two years ago. In this episode, I break down the actual hiring data, funding signals, and vendor earnings to map exactly where the cybersecurity job market is heading. Entry-level SOC and GRC roles are shrinking — but overall postings are up 12%, with 514,000 active openings. AI created 10 entirely new security domains. Workers with AI skills earn a 56% wage premium. And $6.34 billion flowed into AI security startups last year alone. If you're a SOC analyst or GRC professional, pay attention to the diagnostic at the 3-minute mark — it tells you exactly where your domain sits on the shrinking-stable-growing spectrum. If you're trying to break into cybersecurity, the segment at 7:30 shows you the five domains with the strongest entry-level demand right now. I also unpack the Koi Signal — how a one-year-old startup got acquired for $400 million in a category that didn't have a name in 2023 — and what the Big 3 vendors' $33 billion acquisition spree tells you about where your next job is. Models are to be used, not believed. Same goes for your career. Use AI. Don't fear it.

    A primer on Identity Security for Agentic AI

    Send us Fan Mail Today's explores the impact of agentic AI on security landscapes, particularly concerning identity management. It begins by defining AI agents as digital workers that independently pursue goals, outlining their components like perception, reasoning, and learning, and their multi-layered infrastructure. The discussion then transitions to the new attack surfaces introduced by AI agents, such as identity spoofing, privilege creep, and prompt injection, highlighting how agents’ dynamic and ephemeral nature poses unique security challenges. I have critically examined the limitations of current human-centric identity solutions like OAuth and SAML in accommodating machine identities, advocating for a machine-first approach in identity security. Finally, the episode details how the industry is evolving to address these shortfalls through zero trust for agents, policy as code, and enhanced auditability, citing examples from major cloud providers and dedicated identity management companies.
