I have a friend that is a junior in a security-oriented sys-admin/network engineer type role. They have been doing the job for only a bit over a year. No background in programming.
Their entire organization has been handed Codex/Claude and told to "go all in on AI" and "automate everything". So the mandate is for people that do not know how to code and have the keys to the castle to unleash these things upon their systems.
This is at a large organization with tens of thousands of employees.
I am waiting with bated breath for the ultimate outcome!
From what I have seen, most corporate it security people are at a service desk level at best. They are tool runners who don't really understand what the tools spit out, they just go bug other teams about it.
There has never been a better time to be in incident response and adjacent fields.
