AI in security centers boosts satisfaction, but job security fear grows
AI is changing day-to-day work in security operations centers (SOCs), according to a Swimlane survey of 500 U.S. and U.K. security staff. Most say AI helps them build skills and improves job satisfaction by removing repetitive tasks, but nearly half think entry-level SOC jobs will be tougher to land as companies automate more. Human judgment is still needed, especially when AI recommendations are questionable.
- 62% say AI helped grow their skills
- 92% of helped workers report greater satisfaction
- 47% fear SOC jobs will be harder to enter
- AI saves time on routine security tasks
- Half trust their own judgment over AI output
