Why technology can change this work

  • AI automatically drafts analyses, finds correlations and explains standard deviations
  • cameras, sensors and SIEM systems classify events automatically
  • AI detects anomalies and prioritizes incidents
  • some monitoring and patrol tasks shift to robots

What protects the occupation

  • choosing the right question and checking causality rather than correlation alone
  • decision accountability under threat
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • unknown scenarios and active adversaries
  • physical intervention or deep investigation
