AI accelerates security testing, but hardware vulnerabilities still demand specialist expertise

 

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping cybersecurity. Much of the conversation has focused on how large language models are helping developers write code, but a more significant shift may be occurring elsewhere: security testing.

AI systems are becoming remarkably effective at identifying vulnerabilities, forcing organizations to rethink how they evaluate the security of both software and hardware products.

The reason lies in the nature of modern software. Large codebases are sprawling ecosystems of interconnected modules, third-party dependencies, legacy components, and undocumented assumptions.
