AI in general, and LLMs in particular, have spread like wildfire across every industry. Cybersecurity is of course no exception to this. There are many facets of the new AI-age that need to be discussed, regulated, and developed. One under-discussed facet is the effect LLMs have had on students.

This talk is a firsthand account of a lecturer who has taught cybersecurity courses from pre-LLM to today, and seen the differences LLMs have made.

Finally, some suggestions for how to best navigate the new talent pipeline that has yet to be built.
