In a World of AI, As a Great Cybersecurity Analyst, Don’t Just Stick With Python
One thing that many predict in the rise of AI is that we need to all invest in our education and skills development and thus aim to become more experts in our fields. Overall, LLMs (Large Language Models) will generally replace simple and shallow knowledge, as there will be little need for those who do not understand topic areas in any depth. So, how should you develop your skills? Well, perhaps focus on learning topics in more depth, as an LLM doesn’t really analyse things in the way our brain does and generally just blurts out the most probable answer that it found from its “learning”. And another way is to learn new programming languages and pick up different implementations and how different software libraries work. This will allow you to build your own tools and not just rely on ChatGPT to do things for you.
And, so, there’s a big debate about which programming language you should use in you are into cybersecurity. Overall, Python is often the most preferred as it will run on most systems and is easy to run from the command line. However, it can break easily and does not quite integrate with specific operating systems. For this, PowerShell is often a preferred option, as it can open up Windows systems for deep integration. Unfortunately, adversories know the power of PowerShell, too, so it is important…
