AI is drastically changing many areas of cybersecurity, but the learning process still remains a fundamentally human process.
Yes, AI can answer questions, do some repetitive tasks, but it cannot replace the value of real life experience.
This is one of the main reasons why cybersecurity webinars will continue to play an important role in professional development.
A good webinar is not just a presentation. It’s a mix of hard earned expertise, learned lessons and valuable info that cannot be properly expressed by AI.
An average cybersecurity expert has spent over 10 years navigating a steep learning curve, and remembers every step of the journey:
- The learning curve
- The obstacles
- The mistakes
- The solutions
- The mentors
- and the decisions that shaped who they are today.
That’s why human experts will always be more effective at sharing knowledge than AI.
Also, there are many challenges that do not have simple answers and have to involve multiple people. Incident response, risk management, strategic decisions and many other areas depend on experience and judgment.
Webinars also help professionals to better connect with security community and form a long-term relationship.
Technology can provide an almost unlimited access to information, but, the real meaningful learning comes from simple human-to-human conversation.
