Ep 27: 2026 Security operations insights

Jan 28, 2026 By Sumo Logic, Inc. In Sumo Logic
On this episode of Masters of Data, we dive into our 2026 Intelligent Security Operations report. While 90% of 500+ security leaders see AI/ML cutting alert fatigue, actual implementation remains stuck at basic anomaly detection—not the full automation everyone wants. The gap is real: only 51% say their SIEM effectively reduces detection and response times, exposing serious maturity issues. Add rampant tool sprawl (most orgs run 3-10+ security tools that don't communicate), and you've got an integration nightmare. We explore how Model Control Protocol and AI agents could solve this, but here's the truth.
