Will AI replace Information Security Analysts?

This score cannot predict whether this occupation or any individual job will be replaced. It shows which tasks current and near-term AI can perform or accelerate, which tasks remain more durable, and where a worker can adapt. Employer decisions, demand, regulation, and how the role changes are outside the score.

What does a score of 47 mean for a Information Security Analysts?

It means that, weighted across the 11 tasks we analyzed for this role, the task mix sits at 47 on a 0–100 exposure scale — in the most-exposed quarter of analyzed occupations. It measures task exposure to current and near-term AI capabilities, not the probability of losing a job.

Which tasks in this role are most exposed to AI?

This role has no strongly automatable task in the current data release.

Which parts of this job are most durable?

The most durable responsibilities are: Confer with users to discuss issues such as computer data access needs, security violations, and programming changes; Review violations of computer security procedures and discuss procedures with violators to ensure violations are not repeated; Coordinate implementation of computer system plan with establishment personnel and outside vendors. Durable tasks typically depend on judgment, relationships, physical presence, or accountability.

Is this score personalized to me?

No — this page shows the occupation-level baseline. Two people with the same title often do different work. The $9 personalized report recalculates the score from the tasks you actually do and builds a concrete 7/30/90-day plan around them.

Document computer security and emergency measures policies, procedures, and tests.65
Modify computer security files to incorporate new software, correct errors, or change individual access status.55

Most durable tasks

Lowest exposure — typically judgment, relationships, physical presence, or accountability. This is the human moat.

Confer with users to discuss issues such as computer data access needs, security violations, and programming changes.30
Review violations of computer security procedures and discuss procedures with violators to ensure violations are not repeated.35

Task exposure values and classifications are published, versioned estimates audited against the anchored rubric. This page reads them from the data release rather than generating them at request time. Bars show exposure contribution relative to this role’s task mix.

What this means

A score of 47 puts Information Security Analysts in the most-exposed quarter of analyzed occupations. In practice, exposure this high is about the mix: 0 of 11 analyzed tasks lean automatable, 7 augmentable, and 4 durable. The useful question isn’t “will AI take this job” — it’s which tasks go first, which get faster, and where to reposition time. That’s what the personalized report maps against your actual week.

Lower-exposure adjacent roles

No adjacent role in the current data release is at least 10 points lower with ≥50% skill overlap — we don’t label anything “safer” unless the data supports it.

How this score was calculated

The score is the plain average of the AI-exposure values of this role’s 11 analyzed tasks (equal task weights in this release — no hidden factors):

Augmentable 7 tasks, averaging 55/100 exposure
Durable 4 tasks, averaging 34/100 exposure

score = (7×55 + 4×34) ÷ 11 ≈ 47

Every task’s exposure value was scored against a published anchored rubric that scores tasks as actually performed — physical, in-person, and accountability requirements included (data release 2026.07.12-r2). The band (Very High) is a corpus quartile; the percentile is tie-aware across all 968 occupations.
