    Episode #189. If Your AI Program Ignores Security You Are Already Behind, with Will Conaway, healthcare technology executive and AI advisor

    AI only works when it’s tied to real business outcomes, governed responsibly, and built on clean internal data, not hype.  In this episode, Will Conaway, healthcare technology executive and AI advisor, rejoins the podcast and discusses his shift from large enterprise leadership into consulting and what he’s seeing as organizations rush into AI. He breaks down what clients should have ready before starting: clear definitions, realistic expectations, measurable metrics, and honesty about what isn’t working. Will explains common mistakes like relying on industry benchmarks instead of internal data, measuring what looks good instead of what makes you better, and skipping vision-driven change management. He also covers where AI delivers a fast ROI—HR, finance, and contact centers, as well as the non-negotiable need to integrate AI with cybersecurity, given the rise in breaches and the value of medical records. Finally, Will delves into AI governance, exploring fairness, privacy, transparency, accountability, and the inclusion of patients and families in the process.  Tune in and learn how to build AI programs that create measurable clinical and business wins without increasing risk!

    Episode #186. Extreme Visibility, Zero-Day Defense, and the Future of Critical Infrastructure, with Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion

    What if the key to stopping cyberattacks before they happen isn’t chasing malware, but outsmarting it with extreme network visibility and never-forgetting threat intelligence? In this episode, Tony Scott, CEO of Intrusion, explained that the company focuses on extreme network visibility, maintaining institutional memory of threats, and blocking malicious communications to prevent cyberattacks, including zero-day threats. He emphasized the importance of monitoring both inbound and outbound traffic, as well as internal traffic, to prevent harmful activity from causing damage. Looking ahead, Intrusion is prioritizing the protection of critical infrastructure, particularly older operational technology in utilities and manufacturing that wasn’t designed for modern cybersecurity challenges. Drawing from his experience digitizing GM’s manufacturing processes, Scott advised new graduates to remain open to possibilities and explore opportunities beyond their initial focus. Tune in to hear how Tony Scott’s team protects critical infrastructure, stops zero-day attacks, and gives advice for anyone starting a career in technology!
