Plan, coordinate, and implement network security measures to protect data, software, and hardware.

Work task

“Plan, coordinate, and implement network security measures to protect data, software, and hardware.” is a core task performed by Network and Computer Systems Administrators. Among the occupation's 20 rated tasks, workers place it 14th by importance (#7 most important). About 86% of workers say it is relevant to their job.

This is a single occupation-specific task statement from O*NET. The figures below describe how central the task is to the job and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the task will be automated.

Work activities this task rolls up to

O*NET groups concrete tasks into broader work activities shared across many occupations.

AI exposure

The OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rates this task E2. Exposure with tools — software built on top of a language model (not the model alone) could cut the time by at least half.

Exposure measures whether a model could meaningfully speed the task up — it is an estimate of overlap with model capabilities, not a measure of whether the work will be done by software. The study's intermediate score (β) for this task is 0.50. Automation potential label: T2.

How AI is actually used on this kind of task

The Anthropic Economic Index observes how people actually use AI on tasks like this one across millions of real conversations.

  • 0.070% share of AI-use records mapped to this task
  • 67% of that use is work-related
  • Most common interaction: learning
  • Average autonomy of the AI: 3.7 (1–5; higher = more autonomous)
  • 78% of interactions still needed a human in the loop

Observed AI use describes people choosing to use AI as a tool on this kind of task today. It is augmentation and assistance, not a measure of jobs replaced.

Working with AI vs. handing it off

Of the AI conversations mapped to this task, the split between people working alongside AI and people delegating the task to it.

Works with AI 60%
Hands it to AI 39%

How people interact with AI on this task

Interaction pattern Share % What it means
learning 35% you ask AI to explain or teach you
task iteration 21% you and AI go back and forth on the work
directive 20% you give the instruction; AI produces a finished result
feedback loop 19% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 4% you do the work; AI checks it
