The risk is what happens to threat analysis when they do the heavy lifting every day.

Security expertise in manual investigation atrophying. Novel attack vectors missed because AI pattern-matches to known threats. The adversarial thinking that anticipates attacks before they happen being replaced by reactive detection. The resources below are built for this context. Use them to stay oriented.
