Cybersecurity Professional Expresses Boredom and Concerns Over Industry Stagnation

The author of the post, after approximately 12 years in the IT/Security field, expresses boredom with the repetition of the same problems and vulnerabilities. They mention that 90% of the companies they have worked with would not be able to detect an advanced threat in their network, focusing mainly on defending against known threats. With the advent of AI, they use this technology as a level 1 analyst and then verify their work, which reduces their workload. They also express doubts about the relevance of continuing their Master's degree, given that AI could better defend against threats in the future.
