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: 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.

The conversation explores the strategic shift toward cloud adoption as a means to decommission vulnerable on-premise hardware and the evolving "whole of nation" defense strategy that requires deeper public-private partnerships.
