KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 (Bernama) -- Hack The Box, the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) cybersecurity readiness, has released its Cybersecurity Workforce Intelligence Report, highlighting how AI is reshaping cybersecurity skills, career paths, and team structures globally.
Based on anonymised data from more than 702,000 cybersecurity professionals across 251 countries and territories, the report found growing demand for advanced AI-related skills and more integrated cybersecurity team models.
The findings suggest that as AI transforms both cyberattacks and defence strategies, the effectiveness of organisations will increasingly depend on workforce adaptability, readiness, and cross-functional expertise rather than technology alone.
According to Hack The Box in a statement, organisations are accelerating investments in AI security capabilities, with AI penetration testing emerging as a leading global training priority.
Cybersecurity practitioners are also placing greater focus on risks such as prompt injection, model exploitation, and agentic AI attacks, reflecting changing approaches to workforce preparation.
The report noted that traditional role boundaries are becoming less rigid, with growing overlap between offensive and defensive cybersecurity training supporting a more collaborative “purple-team” model.
Structured hands-on training programmes are accelerating this transition, with AI-focused training completion rates reaching 64 per cent, reinforcing the role of organisation-led learning in building advanced cybersecurity capabilities.
To remain effective in an AI-driven environment, the report said security leaders should prioritise AI security skills, expand global talent pipelines, invest in integrated training models, and commit to continuous workforce upskilling.
