UnHack (the Podcast): Agentic Anxieties and Rural Connectivity with Aaron Heath and Brian Zegers


Listen Later

Even cyber pros have technical issues sometimes – our camera caught a bug, but the audio is clean and packed with security insights!
July 28, 2025: Aaron Heath, CISO and Cybersecurity Counsel at the Medical University of South Carolina, and Brian Zegers, Information Security Officer at Lee Health, discuss a variety of security topics. The conversation takes a turn when both leaders address their growing concerns about AI's rapid evolution from helpful tools to autonomous agents with privileged network access. How do you prepare for ransomware recovery when your backup strategies have blind spots? And what happens when AI agents start operating independently within healthcare networks? As these security leaders balance innovation with protection, they ask: Are we moving too fast with AI automation, and how do we secure technologies that are changing faster than our security frameworks can keep pace?
Key Points:
  • 03:08 Brian's Ransomware Recovery Initiative
  • 08:41 The Role of AI in Cybersecurity
  • 13:47 Talent Recruitment Strategies
  • 17:48 Career Journeys in Cybersecurity
