About this episode

Michael Myint discusses the impact of AI on security operations and the importance of fundamentals in cybersecurity.

Healthcare security leader Michael Myint joins host Mick Leach on the latest episode of SOC Unlocked to explore how AI is changing security operations, what modern leaders should expect from emerging vendors, and why the fundamentals still matter. Drawing on 30 years in information security, Michael shares a practical view of where AI is delivering value today—and where hype still outpaces reality. Together, Mick and Michael discuss deepfakes, AI-powered SOC workflows, startup innovation, board-level reporting, and the career habits that separate good practitioners from future security leaders. The conversation lands on a clear takeaway: teams should embrace modern security architectures, but never at the expense of sound judgment, strong foundations, and ownership.
