Years ago, “airline pilot” used to be a high-stress profession. Imagine being in personal control of equipment worth millions hurtling through the sky on an irregular schedule with the lives of all the passengers in your h和s.

但今天在任何一次飞行中， autopilot is engaged almost 90% of the time. (The FAA requires it on long-haul flights or anytime the aircraft is over 28,000 feet.) There are vast str等hes of time where the problem isn’t stress – it’s highly trained, intelligent people just waiting to perhaps be needed if something goes wrong.

Of course, automation has made air travel much safer. But over-reliance on it is now considered an 飞行员面临的新风险. 的担忧? Loss of situational awareness, 和 difficulty taking over quickly 和 deftly when something fails. 美国联邦航空局科学家凯西·阿博特 相信 automation has made pilot error more likely if they “abdicate too much responsibility to the automated systems.今年, 联邦航空局重写了指导方针, now encouraging pilots to spend more time actually flying 和 keeping their skills sharp.

What you want at any job is “flow”

Repetitive tasks can be a big part of a cybersecurity analyst’s day. But when you combine monotony (which often leads to boredom) with the need for attentiveness, 它是引火上身. 一个 神经科学研究 proved chronic boredom affects “judgment, 有目的的规划, 风险评估, 关注焦点, 干扰抑制, 和 intentional control over emotional responses.”

The goal is total 和 happy immersion in a task that challenges you but is within your abilities. When you have that, you’re “in the zone.“你甚至都不想这么做 多任务 (这不是真的).

结合 InsightConnect 和 InsightIDR, 和 you can find yourself “in the zone” for incident response:

  • 响应 playbooks are automatically triggered from InsightIDR investigations 和 alerts.
  • Alerts are prioritized, 和 false alerts are wiped away.
  • Alerts 和 investigations are automatically enriched: no more manually checking IP's, DNS名称, 散列, 等.
  • 通往寻呼机职责的道路, 松弛, 微软团队, JIRA, 和 ServiceNow are already set up for you 和 tickets are created automatically for alerts.

According to Rapid7‘s 检测和响应 Practice Advisor Jeffrey Gardner, the coolest example of InsightIDR’s automaticity is its baselining capability.

“Humans are built to notice patterns, but we can only process so much so quickly,” Gardner says. “Machine learning lets us take in infinitely more data than a human would ever be able to process 和 find interesting or anomalous activity that would otherwise be missed.” InsightIDR can look at user/system activity 和 immediately notify you when things appear awry.

The robots are not coming for your job – surely not yours. But humans 和 machines are already collaborating, 和 we need to be very thoughtful about exactly, 究竟如何.

Like inattentive commercial pilots, Tesla drivers using Autopilot don’t much look at the road even though they’re required to, 和 they remain wholly responsible for everything the vehicle does. Teslas are also being hacked, started, 和 driven off.  一名19岁的学生拿走了25辆特斯拉. We’re designing our jobs – 和 life on earth, too.
