AI Made Software Development Unrecognizable — Is Cybersecurity Next? Agent-Run SOCs Could Reshape Defense
ChuckDBrooks · x · 2026-09-17
A CSO Online feature examines AI's transformation of cyber defense. It cites Google Cloud's 2025 report: 90% of developers now use LLMs at work and 80% report productivity gains, while a Microsoft study found AI users completed 26% more tasks.
The employment impact is emerging: a March 2026 Federal Reserve working paper found annual coder employment growth is about 3% lower. The piece asks whether cybersecurity is next, with agent-run SOCs, machine-speed containment, and flatter security teams poised to reshape the practice.
