Putting security into the hands of a 3rd party who have no skin in the game is a bad idea. There are many 3rd party security teams who can help without handing over the entire cookie jar.

That's not a fantastically worded question. 
How many SIEM products have not been updated to include AI/ML/ Cloud scale analytics now? There are not many 'legacy' SIEM products available on the market today. Most SIEM's now have native SOAR capabilities too, increasing their efficacy in both detection and remediation metrics. 

There will always be a place for on premise SIEM products - OI/IOT environments, or for those organisations for which data privacy or compliance is paramount, so Cloud is not always the answer or best answer for many customers.

While cloud-based security analytics platforms can provide many benefits, it's important for organizations to carefully consider the privacy and security implications of storing their data/logs in the cloud.

Are short term bans of the use of GenAI applications and tools (such as ChatGPT) a good idea for end users in most organizations? For context see this article on the State of Maine Government's directive before you vote: https://www.govtech.com/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-generative-ai-gets-6-month-ban-in-maine-government

Yes - Maine did the right thing. There are too many security risks with free versions of these tools. Not enough copyright or privacy protections of data.27%

No, but.... - You must have good security and privacy policies in place for ChatGPT (and other GenAI apps). My organization has policies and meaningful ways to enforce those policies and procedures for staff.44%

No - Bans simply don't work. Even without policies, this action hurts innovation and sends the wrong message to staff and the world about our organization.22%

I'm not sure. This action by Maine makes me think. Let me get back to you in a few weeks (or months).6%
