One In Three Security Teams Trust AI To Act Autonomously
Help Net Security, Thursday, April 24th, 2025
While AI adoption is widespread, its impact on productivity, trust, and team structure varies sharply by role and region, according to Exabeam.
The findings confirm a critical divide: 71% of executives believe AI has significantly improved productivity across their security teams, yet only 22% of analysts - those closest to the tools - agree. This perception gap reveals more than a difference in opinion; it underscores a deeper issue with operational effectiveness and trust.
Executives are optimistic about AI
Executives often focus on AI's potential to reduce costs, streamline operations, and enhance strategy. But analysts on the front lines report a very different experience - one shaped by false positives, increased alert fatigue, and the ongoing need for human oversight.
