The role carries specific accountability for the secure adoption of artificial intelligence at the enterprise: generative and predictive AI, retrieval-augmented systems, autonomous and semi-autonomous agents, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, tools, and connectors through which agents reach enterprise systems and Protected Health Information. The Principal Cybersecurity Architect - AI & Agentic Systems performs thorough enterprise-wide analysis ensuring the highest levels of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and provides leadership and consultative guidance on projects with extensive size, scope, and risk. The role is responsible for coaching and providing technical oversight to others. It serves the company as an advisor on best practices and as an information technology strategy driver, implementing the principles, models, designs, standards, and guidelines that ensure enterprise technology is consistent, usable, secure, and adds value to the business. Because the company operates as a HIPAA covered entity and business associate, this role is accountable for ensuring that every AI system and agent touching electronic Protected Health Information satisfies the same Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule obligations that apply to a human workforce member performing the same function - minimum necessary access enforced technically rather than by instruction, operation-level audit controls, encryption, executed Business Associate Agreements, and demonstrable risk analysis. The role is expected to make AI adoption faster and safer at the same time: the measure of success is the volume of AI capability the business is able to place into production on approved patterns, not the number of use cases blocked. What You Will Be Doing • Leading project management through the steps of the venture design process. Successfully deliver projects on time and on budget. • Drive cross functional collaboration with key stakeholders across the organization (e.g. legal, medical, procurement, business units, project/program managers of connected efforts) at the appropriate times to drive projects through the steps of the venture design process • Customer and expert recruitment/scheduling and interfacing with vendors for research and co-creation activities. • Ensure all Stage-Gate preparations are complete. Manage Gate submissions for executive and steering committee review. • Knowledge management: organize, document, and create best practices from collected project knowledge to create best practices for the innovation team. • Designs the technical controls that keep Protected Health Information (PHI) inside HIPAA boundaries when AI and agents are in the data path: field-level PHI classification ahead of agent access, minimum necessary enforcement at a centralized context-delivery layer, chunk-level access control in RAG retrieval, de-identification and tokenization, prompt and output redaction at the point of input, prevention of PHI persistence in model weights, embeddings, caches, memory stores, prompt logs, and observability tooling, and tenant and workload isolation. • Designs runtime protection for AI and agentic workloads, including AI and MCP gateway mediation of all model and tool traffic, input and output guardrails, prompt-injection and jailbreak defenses, tool-call authorization and rate limiting, sandboxed and isolated code execution, egress filtering to break the data-exfiltration path, context and memory scoping, and behavioral anomaly detection tuned to agent action patterns rather than traditional user baselines. • Establishes AI and agent observability and auditability sufficient to satisfy the HIPAA Security Rule audit controls standard (45 CFR §164.312(b)) at the operation level: tamper-evident, immutable logging of which agent accessed which PHI, what action it took, under what authorization, and on whose behalf, plus retained decision traces linking every AI-influenced output to its source data, policies, and logic. • Establishes and maintains the enterprise AI asset inventory and AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM) covering models, agents, prompts, datasets, embeddings, MCP servers, tools, and AI-enabled vendor features. Partners with Security Operations to detect and govern shadow AI and unapproved AI usage across the enterprise and the software development lifecycle. • Leads governance processes for intake, review, and lifecycle management of new AI and non-AI technologies and solutions. Serves as the senior security voice on the enterprise AI governance body, setting risk-tiering criteria, pre-deployment assessment requirements, conditions of approval, monitoring obligations, and decommissioning standards. • Embeds security into the AI and agentic development lifecycle (MLSecOps / AI SDLC). Partners with data science, MLOps, platform, and DevOps teams to shift controls left into CI/CD - model and dependency scanning, secrets detection, prompt and configuration review, evaluation gates, policy-as-code enforcement, and continuous posture assessment and remediation workflows. • Owns the security architecture requirements for AI-related third-party and supply-chain risk. Defines pre-contract security requirements for AI vendors and models, ensures Business Associate Agreements and security addenda are in place before PHI reaches any AI service, evaluates AI frameworks, agents, vector databases, and AI platforms for enterprise readiness, and influences vendor roadmaps and future product releases. • Ensures AI and agentic architectures are demonstrably aligned to applicable regulation and recognized frameworks, including the HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Brea Description from Florida Blue's public careers feed, reproduced so you can read the role here.
