How AI is Rewriting the CISO Playbook with Michael Myint

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.

Insights

• AI can accelerate security operations, but it still needs human guidance and context.

• Deepfakes and AI-driven impersonation are making phishing and fraud far more convincing.

• The most effective security programs pair new AI-native capabilities with enduring principles like least privilege, data minimization, and strong operational fundamentals.

• Security leaders that wait too long to test new approaches risk falling behind both attackers and more adaptive peers.
