Episode notes

Host Mick Leach welcomes renowned ethical hacker and author FC to SOC Unlocked for an unforgettable deep dive into the human side of cybersecurity. From walking unnoticed into a government facility with hundreds of cameras to the infamous “gold bar” heist that still makes clients squirm, FC’s stories reveal how curiosity, timing, and psychology often outsmart even the strongest technical defenses. Together, Mick and FC explore the fine line between ethical hacking and criminal creativity, the crucial role of trust (and why it so often backfires), and how AI is reshaping both sides of the security battlefield. The conversation is equal parts thrilling and practical - a reminder that true security depends less on tools and more on awareness, discipline, and a healthy dose of skepticism.
