Partner Ecosystems & AI Security - Episode 59 - Norman Currie, Bricklayer AI

In Episode 59 of the Cybersecurity Matters Podcast, we sit down with Norman Currie, Head of Customer & Partner Experience at Bricklayer AI. With two decades of cybersecurity leadership across market-leading companies including McAfee, Hunters, Expel, and Optiv, Norman brings invaluable insights into building successful security organisations.

Norman discusses how Bricklayer is taking a unique approach to AI-driven security operations by providing platform flexibility rather than selling fixed agents.

Why soft skills matter more than technical knowledge in cybersecurity careers
How to separate AI hype from substance in security products
Whether legacy vendors can compete with AI-native startups
