Krista Case and Jon Oltsik

Krista Case talks with Joseph D'Angelo

Jon Oltsik of theCUBE Research joins host Krista Case of theCUBE Research to examine practitioner priorities ahead of Black Hat. Drawing on decades of cybersecurity research and enterprise security governance experience, Oltsik discusses agentic security, adversarial use of artificial intelligence, automation of the security operations center, SOC, and operational transformation. They emphasize that security programs must evolve people, processes and technology to support continuous cyber resilience and real-time business operations.Key takeaways include prioritizing program and process design over point products, aligning cyber risk with business risk and treating resilience as a continuous requirement. Oltsik recommends that organizations leverage AI to automate repetitive security operations center tasks and upskill analysts while keeping humans in the loop. Case and theCUBE Research underscore that boards must understand threat intent and that collaboration between security and IT is essential to measure uptime and recovery.
