Called it (mostly): Checking in on 2026 predictions so far

Jul 7, 2026 By Sumo Logic, Inc. In Sumo Logic
On this episode of Masters of Data, we revisit the predictions Adam White, Zoe Hawkins, and David Girvin made at the end of last year, checking our own scorecard halfway through 2026. The hits: agents running amok and deleting databases, MCP becoming the backbone for tracking what agents actually do, growing security gaps around personal data, and a collective rejection of low-quality AI content. The misses: we underestimated how fast companies would cut staff for AI, then quietly start rehiring once the agents couldn't cover the work, and we're still arguing about whether token burn is a cost problem or a coming attack vector.

Jun 28, 2026 By cesmng In UTMStack
A lot of teams only realize they need VPC Flow Logs after an incident has already gone sideways. A workload starts behaving oddly. An analyst sees suspicious outbound connections. Someone asks the most basic question in cloud incident response: what else did this instance talk to, when, and was that traffic allowed or blocked? If you don't have a network record already flowing into your monitoring stack, you're left reconstructing events from fragments.
