In response to new questions asked by the annual study, sponsored by Adobe—which showcases the feedback of more than 1,800 global cybersecurity professionals on topics related to the cybersecurity workforce and threat landscape—security teams in Oceania noted they are primarily using AI for:* Automating threat detection/response (36 percent vs 28 percent globally)* Endpoint security (33 percent vs 27 percent globally)* Automating routine security tasks (22 percent vs 24 percent globally)* Fraud detection (6 percent vs 13 percent globally)Sixty-four percent of cybersecurity professionals in Australia say their role is more stressful now than it was five years ago, according to the newly released 2024 State of Cybersecurity survey report from ISACA, a global professional association advancing trust in technology. The annual study, sponsored by Adobe, showcases the feedback of more than 1,800 cybersecurity professionals globally on topics related to the cybersecurity workforce and threat landscape.
