Six Places to Build. Everything Else Is a Commodity.

Six Places to Build. Everything Else Is a Commodity.

AI is making security software easier to build and copy, so the real challenge is finding what remains defensible when everyone has the same tools. The article outlines six durable moats in cybersecurity: hardware, network effects, cryptography, AI agent platforms, AI-enabled services, and frontier security. #Crowdsec #AI #Cryptography #Kubernetes #SSPM

Keypoints

  • AI lowers the cost of building security products, but it also makes them easier to copy.
  • Hardware and embodied products stay defensible because physical deployment and certification create friction.
  • Network effects and trusted communities create value that features alone cannot replicate.
  • Cryptography and deep tech require correctness, expertise, and audits that AI cannot guarantee.
  • AI agent platforms, AI-enabled services, and frontier security offer strong moats through context, accountability, and category creation.
