Josh Taylor, Lead Cybersecurity Analyst at Fortra, was featured in a recent CSO article focused on reskilling security operations teams for agentic AI. The article explores how CISOs are preparing SOC analysts for more autonomous security operations, with agentic systems handling large volumes of alerts, while humans focus on oversight, governance, and decision-making. Josh shares insight into how the analyst role is shifting toward evaluating agent reasoning and building the skills needed to guide and trust AI safely.

Excerpt: “The SOC analyst’s job has always been about processing signals, triaging alerts, correlating events, and escalation. Agentic AI doesn’t eliminate that work; it will relocate an analyst from inside the process to above it. The fundamental reskilling challenge won’t be as technical; it will be cognitive.”
