What are AI skill-gaps new defenders can leverage? #cybersecurity #ai #podcast

AI skill gaps are a real conversation right now, and Chris Cochran, Field CISO and VP of AI Security at SANS Institute, breaks it down into three practical buckets for defenders who want to stay ahead.

Start by figuring out what you can offload to AI: summarization, enrichment, repetitive tasks. Save the deterministic decisions for humans.

Then learn how to secure AI itself:

• Agent-to-agent communications
• MCP server security
• OWASP Top 10 for agents

Finally, understand governance. Not just the technical side, but what your company is actually trying to do with AI. Security practitioners who can enable the business, not just protect it, become irreplaceable.
