About This Research

AI Horizon is an NSF-funded research project at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) focused on understanding how artificial intelligence is transforming the cybersecurity workforce.

Using the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (DCWF), we analyze over 1,350 tasks across 52 work roles to determine how AI will impact each one.

Our goal is to help cybersecurity professionals, students, and educators prepare for the human-AI workforce of the future.
