As adversaries become faster and stealthier,security teams must adapt to stay ahead. The emergence of generative AI (GenAI) has the potential to help them do just that. With itsunique capabilities for natural language processing and synthesizing large amounts of data,GenAI can help security teams improve data awareness across silos and operate their securitytools with greater proficiency. Many security leaders recognize its potential, with some goingso far as to mandate AI adoption across their operations. At the same time, the hype has reached a fever pitch. The avalanche of conversation andcontent about GenAI has made it hard for security teams to understand what’s possible andwhat’s not. Misconceptions abound. To help organizations navigate this uncertainty, CrowdStrike surveyed over 1,000 globalcybersecurity leaders and practitioners on their key criteria shaping GenAI adoption,perceptions of current GenAI offerings and overall sentiment on GenAI. With speculation swirling in the market, this survey reveals how security teams areactuallythinking about GenAI — and the results might surprise you. Top 5Takeaways Security teams want a platform-based approach80% of respondents prefer GenAI delivered through a cybersecurityplatform (versus a point solution). GenAI must be purpose-built for cybersecurity76% of respondents prefer GenAI tools purpose-built for cybersecurity,as opposed to domain-agnostic tools. 2 It’s about augmentation, not replacementRespondents overwhelmingly believe GenAI will ultimately optimizethe analyst experience, not replace human labor. 3 Measurable ROI is a top priorityThe top economic concern about GenAI isn’t about cost — it’s aboutproviding a measurable ROI. Safety and privacy remain top concernsWary of GenAI risks, users ranked safety and privacy guardrails amongthe top features they want to see in GenAI tools. Audience StatisticsGeography SurveyMethodology CrowdStrike worked with research firm ViB to survey 1,022global cybersecurity and IT professionals in June and July 2024.Questions centered on perceptions, attitudes and concernstoward GenAI cybersecurity offerings. Respondents were alsoasked about their purchase drivers, decision criteria and currentbuying journeys for GenAI. In total, 31 questions were asked.CrowdStrike analyzed the responses to provide this documenthighlighting trends and key findings. Primary Industry IndustriesInsurance Manufacturing What is GenAI? Business Services Media and Internet Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) incybersecurity refers to AI systems that can createnew content — such as threat detection patterns,automated incident response playbooks and phishingemail simulations — by learning from vast datasets.The technology can be delivered through embeddedproduct features or conversational interfaces suchas assistants or chatbots.

Almosttwo-thirds (64%) are researchingGenAI toolsor have already purchased one. Of those who have started theirGenAI buying journeys, nearly7 in 10 (69%) intend to make a purchase in thenext 12 months. Integration is the top priority When considering a GenAI purchase, the top-ranked capabilityandleadingoperational concern for organizations ishow GenAI integrates with existingsecurity tools.These results show how GenAI’s value is linked to how well it workswithin the broader technology ecosystem. GenAI drives platform preference Nearlytwo-thirds (63%) of respondents said their organization wouldconsider overhauling their security toolsto use the GenAI tools of another vendor.GenAI is seen as not only an accessible interface to security tools but a capabilitythat can help teams extract deeper insights and more value across tools — making ita decisive factor when choosing security platforms.
