Information security analysts score 49%. Reviewing logs, analysing alerts, writing reports and researching threats all show up in AI use. Attackers have the same tools, though, which helps explain why demand is holding: postings in Indeed’s IT systems category, the closest match, are up 11% on a year ago. AI is changing how security work gets done without reducing how much of it there is.

How to read this: AI task coverage comes from the Anthropic Economic Index, which measures how people use Claude, not the whole labour market. Job postings data comes from Indeed Hiring Lab and reflects the wording of job ads, not actual AI use at work. Employment and pay are US figures unless stated. AI use is not the same as job loss; our verdict explains what we think it means.
