Security professionals say adding LLM\/GenAI capabilities to security programs improves efficiency in threat detection and increases productivity of analysts, according to Dark Reading’s latest research on enterprise security. Efficiency and effectiveness were recurring themes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Dark Reading’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Cybersecurity Survey, the top three benefits of using GenAI and LLMs in a cybersecurity program were more efficient threat detection (28%), improved analyst productivity and efficiency (27%), and better threat intelligence analysis (23%).<\/span><\/p>\n

The promise of AI tools is enhancing the analysts’ performance. Almost one-fifth (19%) of respondents said they appreciated how AI helped generate reports faster, while the same number (19%) liked how AI-infused technologies learn and adapt from new information. Fifteen percent felt the pressure lift from AI analyzing security alerts to <\/span>reduce false positives<\/a><\/span>, while another 15% appreciated how the technology helped them discover and reduce misconfigurations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cybersecurity practitioners also saw value in active uses for AI, such as proactive threat hunting (16%), greater user behavior analysis (15%), improved <\/span>incident response<\/a><\/span> (15%), and better security posture (11%).<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also benefits to the business side. LLM tools can optimize resources (13%) to help make an organization’s network more efficient and reduce costs (9%). Respondents also see ways <\/span>GenAI can scale up<\/a><\/span> their operations (12%), as well as improve cybersecurity response by supplementing the skills of the current team (12%). On the budgeting side, LLM use can reduce both the <\/span>need for additional headcount<\/a><\/span> (11%) and costs of operation (9%).<\/span><\/p>\n
