In this episode of The AI Advantage Series on The Matt Brown Show, Matt sits down with Simon Taylor, CEO of HYCU, the world’s fastest-growing SaaS data protection company. Simon unpacks how AI is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape, not only as a powerful defensive tool but also as a force that dramatically accelerates the scale and sophistication of attacks.

He explains why the rise of agentic AI compounds the risks of SaaS sprawl and data silos, bringing us closer to what he calls the “SaaS Data Apocalypse.” Simon also shares how HYCU has reimagined data protection by building an AI-powered, low-code marketplace that enables SaaS vendors to integrate in weeks rather than years. The conversation moves beyond technology to consider the ethical and regulatory challenges of AI, the importance of transparency, and the human responsibility that comes with deploying powerful new systems.

Matt and Simon also explore the cultural and economic shifts that AI is creating, from the loss of apprenticeship models in traditional careers to the ways elder care may be transformed in the future. Simon introduces his leadership framework of Humanity, Exceptionalism, and Resourcefulness, emphasizing why empathy and purpose still matter as organizations embrace automation.
