Yes, a labor transformation is exactly what it is.

It's a big debate that starts to get into the philosophical aspects—AI is automation, so will it take away jobs? Manufacturing is a perfect example: Everything in that space is automated now, which took away jobs. But that's okay because you can reskill people.

In some cases, yes, and in some cases, no. During the shift from mainframes, some of those folks didn't make the client/server transition that occurred in the 90s.
I think it's a labor transformation where you get this shift in the labor pools and what they're doing. The industrial revolution is a useful analogy here: at that time, people were moving to cities which is why farms had to use tractors. So you started to need automation to do agriculture. In this case, we have automation ahead of the labor transformation—the automation is actually creating the labor challenge but in the cybersecurity space, we have a labor shortage. So from that perspective, we shouldn't have a problem because all we're doing is bringing a shortage into balance versus a need.
