<p>The days of human analysts manually sorting through endless security alerts are numbered.</p><p>By 2028, artificial intelligence (AI) agents will handle 80% of that work in most security operations centers worldwide, according to a new IDC report.</p><div class="code-block code-block-13" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;"> <style> .ai-rotate {position: relative;} .ai-rotate-hidden {visibility: hidden;} .ai-rotate-hidden-2 {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;} .ai-list-data, .ai-ip-data, .ai-filter-check, .ai-fallback, .ai-list-block, .ai-list-block-ip, .ai-list-block-filter {visibility: hidden; position: absolute; width: 50%; height: 1px; top: -1000px; z-index: -9999; margin: 0px!important;} .ai-list-data, .ai-ip-data, .ai-filter-check, .ai-fallback {min-width: 1px;} </style> <div class="ai-rotate ai-unprocessed ai-timed-rotation ai-13-1" data-info="WyIxMy0xIiwxXQ==" style="position: relative;"> <div class="ai-rotate-option" style="visibility: hidden;" data-index="1" data-name="U2hvcnQ=" data-time="MTA="> <div class="custom-ad"> <div style="margin: auto; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.techstrongevents.com/cruisecon-virtual-west-2025/home?ref=in-article-ad-2&amp;utm_source=sb&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=in-article-ad-2" target="_blank"><img src="https://securityboulevard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Banner-770x330-social-1.png" alt="Cruise Con 2025"></a></div> <div class="clear-custom-ad"></div> </div></div> </div> </div><p>But while AI promises to revolutionize defense, it’s also supercharging the attackers.</p><p>IDC predicts that by 2027, 80% of organizations will face phishing attacks leveraging AI-generated synthetic identities, fabricated personas that combine real information with AI-generated data to appear legitimate.</p><p>In a notable development, security platforms are expected to begin quantifying threats in financial terms. By early 2028, 30% of alerts in detection and response platforms will include real-time monetary estimates of potential breach damage, helping organizations prioritize responses based on financial impact.</p><p>The 10-prediction report covers additional trends including sovereign AI requirements, quantum computing readiness, and the emergence of AI Bills of Materials for enterprises deploying autonomous AI systems.</p><p>Other key forecasts from the report include predictions that one-third of governments will mandate sovereign AI for sensitive sectors by 2027; 40% of enterprises shall adopt AI-powered cyber risk quantification platforms by 2028; 70% of large enterprises intend to implement private cloud compute for data privacy protection by 2029; and 85% of detection and response playbooks will be generated dynamically by early 2027.</p><p>The accelerated timeline for these predictions suggests organizations have limited runway to adapt their security infrastructure and strategies for an AI-dominated threat landscape, the IDC report concluded.</p><div class="spu-placeholder" style="display:none"></div><div class="addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content addtoany_content_bottom"><div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_20 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://securityboulevard.com/2025/11/your-security-team-is-about-to-get-an-ai-co-pilot-whether-youre-ready-or-not-report/" data-a2a-title="Your Security Team Is About to Get an AI Co-Pilot — Whether You’re Ready or Not: Report"><a class="a2a_button_twitter" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fyour-security-team-is-about-to-get-an-ai-co-pilot-whether-youre-ready-or-not-report%2F&amp;linkname=Your%20Security%20Team%20Is%20About%20to%20Get%20an%20AI%20Co-Pilot%20%E2%80%94%20Whether%20You%E2%80%99re%20Ready%20or%20Not%3A%20Report" title="Twitter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fyour-security-team-is-about-to-get-an-ai-co-pilot-whether-youre-ready-or-not-report%2F&amp;linkname=Your%20Security%20Team%20Is%20About%20to%20Get%20an%20AI%20Co-Pilot%20%E2%80%94%20Whether%20You%E2%80%99re%20Ready%20or%20Not%3A%20Report" title="LinkedIn" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_facebook" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fyour-security-team-is-about-to-get-an-ai-co-pilot-whether-youre-ready-or-not-report%2F&amp;linkname=Your%20Security%20Team%20Is%20About%20to%20Get%20an%20AI%20Co-Pilot%20%E2%80%94%20Whether%20You%E2%80%99re%20Ready%20or%20Not%3A%20Report" title="Facebook" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_reddit" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/reddit?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fyour-security-team-is-about-to-get-an-ai-co-pilot-whether-youre-ready-or-not-report%2F&amp;linkname=Your%20Security%20Team%20Is%20About%20to%20Get%20an%20AI%20Co-Pilot%20%E2%80%94%20Whether%20You%E2%80%99re%20Ready%20or%20Not%3A%20Report" title="Reddit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_button_email" href="https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fsecurityboulevard.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fyour-security-team-is-about-to-get-an-ai-co-pilot-whether-youre-ready-or-not-report%2F&amp;linkname=Your%20Security%20Team%20Is%20About%20to%20Get%20an%20AI%20Co-Pilot%20%E2%80%94%20Whether%20You%E2%80%99re%20Ready%20or%20Not%3A%20Report" title="Email" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a></div></div>
