Secon’s Latest Whitepaper: How AI Is Changing Cyber Security

There’s no shortage of conversation around AI right now, especially in cyber security. But when you look beyond the headlines, it becomes clear that many organisations are still figuring out what AI really means for their teams, their tools, and their risk.

That’s why we’ve written this whitepaper.

Why We Explored AI and Cyber Security.

Over the past year, we’ve spoken to security leaders across industries who are facing the same challenge: they’re being asked to make AI-related decisions, often with little clarity about what’s real, what’s useful, and what’s just a rebranded feature.

At the same time, the risks and responsibilities around adopting AI-driven tools are growing. What used to be a “future problem” is now a conversation happening in boardrooms, budgets, and procurement processes today.

What Is Included.

This whitepaper is not about jumping on the latest trend, it’s about understanding how AI and cyber security are already intersecting, and what smart adoption looks like. It’s a practical resource designed to help you think clearly and act confidently.

Here’s what we cover:

  • A clear breakdown of what AI is and isn’t in cyber security, including how it differs from automation and machine learning
  • Where AI is genuinely helping today, such as identifying threats faster and reducing analyst fatigue
  • Key risks to be aware of, from loss of visibility to misplaced trust in “black box” tooling
  • Questions to ask vendors and internal teams before bringing AI-powered tools into your stack
  • Insights from the frontlines, drawn from clients and partners already testing and implementing AI across different environments

Who Is This Whitepaper For?

This paper was written for people navigating real-world security challenges:

  • CISOs and Heads of Security who need strategic clarity in a crowded market
  • IT Managers and Directors who must balance innovation with risk
  • Security Analysts and Architects looking to grow their understanding of AI
  • Procurement, risk, and compliance teams involved in evaluating security investments

Even if you’re not using AI in your stack today, chances are you’ll be discussing it, or defending against it, soon.

Why AI and Cyber Security Matters Now.

We’re at a turning point. AI is moving from product roadmaps into real-world products, and being sold into critical environments. But as adoption grows, so does the need for understanding, context, and control.

This paper is our way of helping organisations slow down, ask better questions, and stay in control of the choices they make.
