The article explains how AI can help cybersecurity companies build stronger moats in three areas: systems of intelligence, AI-native security services, and frontier security.

Keypoints
- SIEM was built as a log database, but modern security operations need systems of intelligence that make decisions and take action.
- AI becomes useful when it is given security context, policies, and threat graphs to triage alerts and identity requests.
- AI-native security services create a new category between software and classic services by scaling expert delivery with fewer people.
- Managed security providers can use AI to personalize services and deliver advanced offerings like VIP monitoring and targeted threat hunting.
- Frontier security emerges when new technologies like cloud, Kubernetes, and AI create new threat models, vocabularies, and product categories.
