    How AI Exposes Security Skeletons and What to Do About It

    In this episode, Howard Holton joins the No Trust podcast team to discuss why AI is exposing long standing weaknesses across cybersecurity, identity, and IT operations. Drawing on decades of experience as a CIO, CTO, and CISO, Howard shares practical insights into why organisations continue to struggle with security fundamentals, how technical debt has created massive hidden risk, and why AI is accelerating the impact of those problems rather than creating entirely new ones. The conversation explores identity hygiene, least privilege access, blast radius reduction, Zero Trust principles, board level accountability, and the growing gap between business speed and secure delivery. The episode also looks at why organisations need to rethink culture, governance, and leadership if they want to build sustainable security strategies in the AI era. Key Takeaways: • AI is exposing years of poor security hygiene. • Identity and access control matter more than ever. • Technical debt is becoming a major security risk. • AI increases the speed and scale of attacks. • Businesses still prioritise speed over security. • Least privilege is critical in the AI era. • Zero Trust helps reduce blast radius. • Security must become part of doing things right. • Boards need stronger cybersecurity understanding. • Organisations need time to clean up legacy issues.

    Navigating the Cybersecurity Landscape in 2026: Insights from Gina Yacone

    In this episode, Gina Yacone joins Jaye Tillson and John Spiegel to discuss the latest trends in cybersecurity, Zero Trust, AI, identity, vulnerability management, and the evolving industry landscape. The conversation explores how organisations are being forced to rethink security because of rising cyber threats, AI-driven attacks, regulatory pressure, and the growing importance of business-aligned cybersecurity leadership. They also share practical insights on reducing attack surface, managing technical debt, preparing for quantum risks, securing AI adoption, and why modern CISOs must increasingly speak the language of the business rather than just technology. Key Takeaways: • Zero Trust is moving from buzzword to business necessity. • Identity is back at the centre of serious security conversations. • Zero Trust is about reducing blast radius, not pretending breaches will never happen. • AI is helping attackers move faster, scale better, and make fewer mistakes. • Defenders need AI too, but adoption and operationalisation are still hard. • Vulnerability management must move from counting CVEs to understanding real exposure. • CTEM is changing how organisations prioritise risk and patching. • Quantum readiness should start now with simple assessments and crypto visibility. • CISOs need to speak business language, not just technical language. • Secure AI, data governance, and SDLC controls are becoming urgent priorities.
