In this episode of Agentless, we focus on the changing role of analysts, particularly in the cybersecurity space, and the evolving ways professionals gather trusted information. Listen in as Jason and Dave reflect on how analyst firms like Gartner have shifted from being a key resource in the '90s to a more commercialized model today. They also discuss alternative sources of advice, from VCs to AI tools like ChatGPT, and how these changes impact the vendor-CISO dynamic.
"Gartner used to be the oracle on the hill, but the game has changed. Now, it’s more about paying the ‘Gartner tax’ than genuine insight." – Dave Cole
"As CISOs, our products need to speak for themselves. I don't care who invested in it—if it's good, the product will sell itself." – Jason Loomis
