The Great Cybersecurity Rebuild: Why AI Is Changing the Buy vs. Build Equation
AI is reshaping cybersecurity by collapsing the cost of building software and weakening the old “technology is hard” moat. The article argues that the winners will be companies that move from Systems of Record to Systems of Intelligence, using expertise and real-world judgment to solve CISO-level problems. #ClaudeCode #GeminiAIStudio #OpenAICodex #Anthropic #SteveJobs

Keypoints

  • AI coding tools have made software development dramatically cheaper and faster.
  • Many cybersecurity products are now easy to build because they rely on exposed cloud APIs and simple data workflows.
  • “We use AI” is not a moat, because competitors can access the same foundation models.
  • The industry is shifting from Systems of Record to Systems of Intelligence, where judgment matters more than raw data.
  • Durable cybersecurity companies will be built around expertise, trust, deep tech, and customer-driven product design.
