Is uw bedrijf in de Cybersecurity klaar voor AI?
Beantwoord 16 vragen over 4 gebieden om uw AI-gereedheid te beoordelen. Most cybersecurity firms score 4/10; they are technically capable but paralyzed by the inherent security risks of the tools themselves.

Data Architecture & Hygiene
- ☐Is your security telemetry (logs, alerts, traffic) stored in a centralized, queryable data lake rather than siloed across different tools?
- ☐Do you have a process for sanitizing PII and sensitive customer data before it hits an LLM training or inference pipeline?
- ☐Is at least 70% of your log data structured or semi-structured (JSON/CSV) rather than raw text?
- ☐Can you programmatically pull historical incident reports to use as fine-tuning data or context for a RAG system?
Your data is clean, centralized, and you have an automated pipeline to strip sensitive identifiers before analysis.
Your data is trapped in vendor silos (Splunk, Crowdstrike, SentinelOne) without a way to aggregate it for custom AI logic.
Governance & Compliance
- ☐Do you have a formal AI Acceptable Use Policy that specifically bans the input of client source code into public LLMs?
- ☐Have you mapped out how AI-generated code or configurations will impact your SOC2 or ISO 27001 compliance?
- ☐Do you have a 'Human-in-the-loop' requirement for all AI-triggered remediation actions?
- ☐Is there a clear legal owner for liability if an AI-suggested firewall change causes a service outage?
You have a documented AI risk framework that treats AI models as third-party vendors with specific risk profiles.
Employees are secretly using ChatGPT to write scripts or analyze client logs because there is no official, secure alternative.
Incident Response Automation
- ☐Are your Incident Response playbooks digitized and updated, or do they live in static PDFs/Word docs?
- ☐Do you have a 'sandbox' environment where an AI can safely test remediation scripts before they hit production?
- ☐Can your current SOC tools trigger an API call to an LLM to summarize a multi-stage alert?
- ☐Do you have a feedback loop where analysts can 'rate' the accuracy of automated alert summaries?
Your playbooks are code-based (JSON/Python) and your analysts are already comfortable using automation for Tier 1 triage.
Your SOC is drowning in false positives and relies entirely on manual analysis to connect the dots between alerts.
Offensive Security & Red Teaming
- ☐Does your team currently use LLMs to generate realistic phishing lures for client assessments?
- ☐Have you tested your own products or infrastructure specifically against prompt injection or model inversion attacks?
- ☐Do you have a repository of 'known good' exploit code to use as a benchmark for AI-assisted vulnerability research?
- ☐Can you automate the first 20% of a pentest report (executive summary, scope, basic findings) using existing data?
You are actively using AI to augment your red team's speed and testing your defenses against AI-powered threats.
You assume your current defensive stack is 'AI-proof' without having conducted specific AI-threat modeling.
Snelle winsten om uw score te verbeteren
- ⚡Deploy a private, containerized instance of an LLM (e.g., via Azure OpenAI or AWS Bedrock) for internal document querying.
- ⚡Use AI to automate the drafting of RFI/RFP responses—this is low risk and saves senior engineers 5-10 hours per week.
- ⚡Implement an AI 'Summarizer' for SOC Tier 1 alerts to reduce 'alert fatigue' by grouping related telemetry.
- ⚡Create a 'Security-Approved' prompt library for common tasks like log parsing or script conversion.
Veelvoorkomende knelpunten
- 🚧Liability fears regarding hallucinated security recommendations or accidental data leaks.
- 🚧Significant 'technical debt' in the form of legacy security tools that don't offer API-based data extraction.
- 🚧The high cost of self-hosting LLMs (Llama 3/Mistral) to ensure data privacy compared to using cheaper public APIs.
- 🚧A shortage of talent that understands both deep security engineering and LLM orchestration.
Penny's Visie
The irony is that cybersecurity firms are often the last to adopt AI because they know exactly how dangerous it is. They've seen the 'Shadow AI' usage data and it scares them. However, staying on the sidelines is no longer an option when the adversaries are already using LLMs to scale phishing and automate exploit discovery. Your first step isn't to build a 'Cyber-AI' bot; it's to fix your data. If your logs are a mess and your playbooks are out of date, an AI will just help you make mistakes faster. You need to transition from being a 'service' business to a 'data' business. Real AI readiness in this sector looks like a private, local-first LLM environment where your data never touches the public internet. It's expensive—expect to pay £1,500 - £4,000/month just for the dedicated compute—but it's the only way to play in this space without losing your shirt on a data breach.
