This week on the podcast, we discuss OpenClaw, the open source chatbot that has exploded in popularity since launching late last year, and some of the risk it introduces to organizations.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we're joined by Eric Avery, Sumo Logic's head of infrastructure and data, to break down data pipeline management: efficiently moving massive data volumes from multiple sources to one usable location.

Eric shares insights from processing 3.5 exabytes daily and how AI has reignited excitement around data. We also cover pipeline security, the shift from data lakes to AI-powered platforms, and practical digital security tips.
