Description

Cybersecurity visionary Dave Kennedy joins Host Mick Leach on SOC Unlocked to explore how artificial intelligence is redefining the balance between attacker innovation and defender resilience. From building custom large-language models to outsmart attackers at scale to proving that humans still belong at the center of the SOC, Dave reveals what it really takes to stay ahead in an age of machine-speed threats.

Together, Mick and Dave unpack how AI is accelerating the attacker’s toolkit, transforming the analyst’s workflow, and redefining what “defense in depth” means today. The discussion blends technical insight with practical wisdom—a candid look at innovation, leadership, and why the best security strategies still start with people.
