Is Cybersecurity Training Necessary in the Age of AI?

AI is transforming the way we build, deploy, and secure software. From intelligent code analysis to automated detection and response, machines are taking on more of the security workload than ever before.

Which begs the question:
Is cybersecurity training still necessary—or is it being replaced?

If training is still relevant, what should it look like in a world increasingly shaped by AI and automation?

The conversation will take on a life of its own, but here are a few additional questions we'll likely explore:

• Have modern security controls and AI reduced the need for traditional training?
• What risks emerge when people rely too heavily on tools without understanding the “why” behind them?
• How do we evolve security training to match the pace of AI-driven development?
• Who still needs to be trained, and on what?
