Beyond the various geopolitical events that defined 2022, on the technological level, it was the year of AI. I might as well start by coming clean: until very recently, whenever I’d be asked about AI in cybersecurity, I’d dismiss it as vaporware. I always knew machine learning had many real-world applications; but for us in the infosec world, AI had only ever been used in the cringiest of product pitches. To me, “AI-powered” was just an elegant way of vendors of saying “we have no existing knowledge base or telemetry, so we devised a couple of heuristics instead”. I remain convinced that in more than 95% of cases, the resulting products contained little actual AI either. But the thing is, while marketing teams were busy slapping “AI” stickers on any product that involved k-means calculus as part of its operation, the real AI field was actually making progress.
