The recent layoff of Microsoft’s Director of AI highlights the volatile nature of the tech industry, especially in AI and cybersecurity. Even top professionals are not immune to job instability, emphasizing the need for continuous upskilling and strategic career planning.
You Should Know:
1. AI & Cybersecurity Job Market Trends
The AI field is rapidly evolving, leading to shifts in required skills. Employers now prioritize:
– Automation & AI-driven security
– Cloud security expertise (AWS, Azure, GCP)
– Ethical hacking & red teaming
Commands to Stay Relevant:
Check Azure AI services (if working with Microsoft AI)
az ml service list --resource-group <your-resource-group>
Automate security scans with Nmap
nmap -sV --script vuln <target-IP>
Use OpenAI API for threat intelligence (Python)
import openai
response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
model="gpt-4",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Latest AI security threats in 2024?"}]
)
print(response.choices[bash].message.content)
2. Re-Strategizing Your Career
- Learn AI-powered security tools (e.g., IBM Watson for cybersecurity).
- Get certified (e.g., CISSP, CEH, Microsoft AI Engineer).
- Practice ethical hacking with platforms like Hack The Box.
HTB Practice Command:
Connect to Hack The Box VPN sudo openvpn <your-htb-config.ovpn>
3. Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR)
Since AI can be weaponized, DFIR skills are crucial.
Volatility (Memory Forensics) Command:
volatility -f memory.dump --profile=Win10x64 pslist
4. Windows Security Auditing
Check for suspicious processes (Windows)
Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.CPU -gt 90 }
Audit Active Directory for breaches
Get-ADUser -Filter -Properties LastLogonDate | Sort LastLogonDate
5. Linux Threat Hunting
Check for rootkits sudo rkhunter --check Monitor network connections sudo netstat -tulnp
What Undercode Say:
The tech job market is ruthless—AI advancements both create and destroy opportunities. To survive:
– Master AI-augmented cybersecurity.
– Diversify skills (cloud, forensics, automation).
– Stay ahead with certifications and hands-on practice.
Prediction:
AI-driven layoffs will increase, but so will demand for AI security specialists. Those who adapt will thrive.
Expected Output:
Sample output for Nmap scan Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) Nmap scan report for target.com 22/tcp open ssh 80/tcp open http 443/tcp open https
