Driven by AI, the Future of Cybersecurity Will Resemble the Past
A piece in Lawfare argues that AI is pushing cybersecurity toward patterns that echo historical models rather than pointing toward something entirely new.
Why this matters: The interesting claim buried in this framing is that AI does not change the game so much as replay an older one. That matters for anyone setting security policy right now. If the threats ahead look like threats from the past, the mistakes from the past are also coming back. Understanding that loop is more useful than chasing the next shiny tool. History in security tends to rhyme when nobody is paying attention.
