Cloudflare Expects 95% of Cybersecurity to be Handled by AI in Five Years
Cloudflare co-founder Michelle Zatlyn says AI will transform cybersecurity, but workers who learn to 'build and sell' will succeed.
Cloudflare sees 234 billion cyberthreats each day and expects AI to handle 95% of cybersecurity in five years, according to co-founder Michelle Zatlyn. The company is reevaluating its workforce and workplace for the AI future, focusing on ‘building and selling’ roles. Zatlyn advises workers to learn these skills to succeed in the next decade.
Cloudflare continues to hire for building and selling roles and invests in these areas, with a focus on ‘connective tissue’ within the organization. The company’s internship program has grown to 1,100 workers this year, with a focus on building and shipping skills.
Zatlyn says the builders and sellers will remain ‘powerful’ in the workforce, with the most ownership and positivity. She advises workers to learn building and selling skills to succeed in the next decade, as AI transforms operations across enterprises.
