The Leadership Imperative for Security Talent and Skill Preservation
Hosted by Sophos
Agentic AI is rapidly reshaping security operations, automating triage, investigation, and response at scale. As routine work shifts to machines, organizations risk losing critical skills, judgment, and institutional knowledge. CIOs and CISOs must decide what to automate, what to preserve, and how to evolve roles and operating models—while leveraging AI to extend security expertise beyond traditional boundaries.
Join this session, facilitated by Sophos CEO Joe Levy, to discuss
- How agentic AI is reshaping SOC roles, workflows, and career paths
- How to identify and preserve critical skills while redesigning roles for the next 1–2 years
- Practical approaches to balancing AI automation with human judgment and leadership at scale
