Welcome to another episode of the To The
Point Cybersecurity Podcast! This week, Rachael Lyon sits down with
Rick Hemsley, UK and Ireland Cybersecurity Consulting Leader at
Ernst & Young, to dive deep into the rapidly evolving intersection
of artificial intelligence and cyber risk. With over 25 years of
experience advising a diverse range of organizations—including
governments—Rick Hemsley shares insights from EY’s latest research
on the shifting threat landscape, the phenomenon of “NAVI”
(nonlinear, accelerated, volatile, interconnected challenges), and
the growing impact of AI-driven attacks. The conversation explores
the widening gap between innovation and governance, the need for
robust guardrails, the human element in defending against
adversarial AI, and the importance of integrating cybersecurity
into every stage of digital transformation. Whether you’re a
cybersecurity professional, an executive, or simply interested in
the future of AI and security, this episode offers expert
perspective and actionable guidance you won’t want to miss.
