A new study by Exabeam reveals a sharp divide between executives and frontline cybersecurity analysts over artificial intelligence’s (AI) real-world impact on productivity, trust, and team structures.

In Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ), 71% of executives say AI has significantly improved cybersecurity team productivity. However, only 5% of cybersecurity analysts agree.

According to Exabeam, the disconnect highlights deeper concerns around operational effectiveness. While executives tout AI's potential to cut costs, streamline operations and enhance strategy, cybersecurity analysts dealing with the tools daily cite a surge in false positives, alert fatigue, and the continued need for manual oversight.
