Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the modern AI threat management landscape, security operations teams face the possibility of defending against more than\u00a07,000 password attacks per second.\u00a0Against those odds, human analysts alone simply cannot keep pace.
\nThose immense stakes make automated threat management a necessity for modern enterprise resilience. By offloading \u201ctier one\u201d tasks like phishing triage to AI, security professionals can reclaim hundreds of hours each month to focus on preemptive threat pursuit, according to Scott Woodgate (pictured), general manager for threat protection at Microsoft Corp.
\n\u201cAgents provide a real opportunity to take automation to the next level and fundamentally upskill the roles that people have so that [the] employment gap actually can be filled by the partnership between people and agents,\u201d Woodgate said, departing from Microsoft\u2019s estimate that millions of security jobs remain unfilled worldwide.
\nWoodgate spoke with theCUBE\u2019s Christophe Bertrand\u00a0at the RSAC 2026 Conference, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio.\u00a0They discussed AI threat management, the agentic workforce and the evolution of global intelligence sharing.\u00a0(* Disclosure below.)
\nAdvancing AI threat management and worker upskilling through agents
\nAs organizations confront a global shortfall of cybersecurity talent, the focus has shifted from replacing workers to making existing teams more effective\u00a0 \u2014 a transition that depends in part on broader, cross-border threat intelligence sharing, Woodgate explained.
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re in a particular country, and all you knew was the threat intelligence within your country, you aren\u2019t set up for the threats that often come from countries that are not yours,\u201d he said. \u201cThis notion of collective defense or global sharing of threat intelligence is actually a critical piece for us to stay ahead of attackers, because\u00a0[attackers] don\u2019t respect our state boundaries.\u201d\u00a0
\nWhile agents can improve security operations through speed, scale and automation, human practitioners must remain in control, taking on more of an oversight and orchestration role, Woodgate noted. The current evolution can be likened to the industry\u2019s shift from on-premises security to the cloud, which broadened responsibilities and pushed teams toward higher-value work, he added.
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re already currently doing this, there\u2019s some good lessons from the transition to cloud security where actually getting out and using these things and seeing how they can help you upskill and uplevel your game and be more valuable is really important.\u201d Woodgate said. \u201cIn this space, it really isn\u2019t about my job, it\u2019s about my effectiveness.\u201d
