The use of automation in cybersecurity has become increasingly popular, but it is not a replacement for human expertise and a proactive security mindset. While automated tools can excel in repetitive and routine tasks such as vulnerability scanning, they are limited in their ability to detect new threats, understand complex vulnerabilities, and respond to emerging threats. Human experts are still needed to configure and employ automated systems, adjust their performance in response to changing environments, and make informed decisions about security and organizational implications. Moreover, automation can actually exacerbate problems such as alert fatigue, data overload, and devaluing human expertise if overrelied upon. Instead, a healthy balance between automation and human expertise is necessary for effective cybersecurity.
