At DXC Technology, global CISO Mike Baker has established one of the largest agentic security operation centers (SOCs) in the world. To upskill the workforce as part of this journey, he embedded experts from agentic SOC vendor 7AI within his security teams. When Damon McDougald, global cybersecurity services lead at Accenture, wanted to retrain his team for agentic AI, the first thing he did was immerse himself in the technology. He signed up for an Anthropic boot camp, took courses to familiarize himself with the technology, then sent members of his team to take bootcamp classes as well. John White, an early adopter of agentic AI when he was CISO at Virgin Atlantic, tells CSO that he purposely gave a new agentic AI tool to a junior staffer on his Virgin Atlantic team, provided the staffer with minimal direction, and told him to go off and play with the tool.
