"AI for cyber is about to go vertical"

What's this about?

Box CEO Aaron Levie: models are becoming insanely good at finding and exploiting vulnerabilities, frontier models are ahead but open weights are not far behind, and most enterprises are already inundated with cyber discoveries — so the volume is about to multiply. His conclusion: triaging and automating fixes with more AI, alongside human oversight, is essentially the only way forward. And a note on jobs: it is going to be a great time to be in security.

Why does more discovery create a problem rather than solve one?

Because a vulnerability report is not a fix, it is work. Security teams are already the bottleneck: every finding needs triage, reproduction, severity assessment, prioritisation, a patch, testing and deployment. Multiply the input by ten and you have not made anyone safer — you have made the queue longer, and a longer queue means the important thing sits behind more noise. This is the same shape as AISLE's 23 unaccepted reports, at organisational scale.

  1. It is the demand-side argument for exactly the kind of tooling that turns raw findings into triaged, prioritised, actionable output.
  2. "Open weights are not far behind" is the part that determines the timeline, and it is consistent with what GLM-5.3 was marketed on last week.
  3. Coming from an enterprise software CEO rather than a security vendor makes it a statement about buying behaviour.
