How CISOs Should Prepare for AI and Cloud Risks in 2026 | Matt Lea
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
In this episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole sits down with cloud and AI expert Matt Lea to unpack the real risks and opportunities shaping cybersecurity today. They dive into AWS outages, cloud resiliency strategies, and how organizations should think about redundancy instead of blindly trusting a single provider. The conversation explores how CISOs can balance cost versus risk when designing cloud architectures and why insider issues, burnout, and knowledge silos often pose bigger threats than external attackers. Matt shares practical insights on AWS AI tools like Bedrock and SageMaker, when to adopt them, and how AI is changing cloud operations at scale. The episode also covers startup lessons, building resilient teams, and the importance of documenting knowledge to avoid single points of failure. Plus, they discuss Cloud War Games, a hands-on approach to training teams under real outage scenarios. If you're a security leader, cloud architect, or technologist navigating AI and cloud transformation, this episode delivers actionable guidance on building resilient systems, managing risk, and preparing for the next wave of cyber challenges.
