In this episode of Masters of Data, we dig into the cybersecurity nightmare that is modern healthcare IT, from ransomware attacks shutting down entire hospitals to IoT medical devices running software older than some of our passwords. We explore why healthcare organizations make such attractive targets for cybercriminals, and why the combination of life-or-death stakes, skeleton-crew security teams, and Windows-95-era equipment is a recipe for chaos. We also get into the surprisingly exciting

As we gear up for RSA Conference, we give viewers a sneak peek at Sumo Logic's SOC analyst agent, which turns a 45-minute analyst investigation into a five-minute AI-powered sprint. We walk through live demos showing how the agent automatically generates queries, maps threats to MITRE ATT&CK, and hands you recommended remediation actions all without making you switch tabs or tools. We also show off MCP integration that lets teams collaborate on active investigations right from Slack, because no

In this episode, we dive into the wild world of 'bursty' businesses (yes, we said it) and the security headaches that come with unpredictable traffic spikes, whether you're bracing for tax season, Black Friday, or a surprise sardine TikTok going viral. We unpack the complex domino effect of onboarding and offboarding seasonal workers at scale, where handing out 'keys' now means managing thousands of access tokens and cloud permissions instead of a spare set for the back file drawer. We make the case

On this episode of Masters of Data, we tackle security for growing enterprises: past small business status but not quite full-scale yet. The challenge? Building effective programs with limited resources while balancing people, processes, and tools.We cover essentials like EDR, SIEM, SSO, identity management, and cloud security. The catch? Buying tools means nothing without proper implementation, tuning, and training. We explore fractional CISOs, cross-training to avoid single points of failure, and

On this episode of Masters of Data, we break down incident response from detection through containment, forensics, recovery, and postmortem. The foundation? Comprehensive logging. Without it, you're blind.We explore building cross-functional teams and a blame-free culture where people actually report issues. Communication is key: what you tell engineering isn't what you tell executives or customers. AI is accelerating investigations, but the fundamentals still rule: proper tool access, the right

In this episode of Masters of Data, we tackle why cybersecurity professionals burn out, and it's not just long hours. We explore how repetitive tasks, limited growth, and work that feels invisible drain security teams who face constant vigilance with few wins and no finish line.We discuss how high-stakes environments and rigid SLAs prevent real breaks, then share solutions: celebrate small victories, recognize contributions, prioritize physical health, and protect work-life balance.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we unpack David's new white paper on AI governance for agentic systems. He explains model context protocol (MCP) as "APIs for agents", how AI systems talk and execute tasks. The catch? Autonomous agents are insider threats that move fast and cause serious damage. David introduces the Model Control Plane (MoCop), a twelve-pillar framework designed to prevent your AI from going rogue.

On this episode of Masters of Data, Adam sits down with Zoe Hawkins and David Girvin to talk AppSec programs that don't suck. David's hot take from his 1Password and Red Canary days? AppSec is a people problem, not a tooling problem—stop being the person devs dodge at standup. We cover the essentials: build relationships first, threat model based on actual business risk (not your anxiety), and ditch the "shift left" obsession with scanning everything. Instead, start with offensive testing that finds

David geeks out over Mobot, our AI tool that's making workflows smoother (not just another chatbot in disguise), and how attendees couldn't get enough of the live demos. We also

In this episode of Masters of Data, we dive into how AI learns, examining both how we teach it and what it derives from human performance, as well as why context plays a crucial role in AI interactions. We break down five key components of AI training and talk about why we should view AI as a tool under human control rather than an autonomous entity. We explore the challenge of maintaining context in AI—much like our own memory struggles—and discuss methods, such as retrieval-augmented generation,
