    Ep 30: What is data pipeline management, and why does it matter for security?

    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. We explore how pipelines fuel analytics and AI, the role of data transformation, and where OpenTelemetry fits in. 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.

    Ep 29: From detection to post-mortem: The complete incident cycle

    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 people on call, and translating technical chaos into business-speak. The takeaway? Great incident response is preparation, culture, and clear communication in equal measure.

    Ep 28: Stop being the 'no' department: How modern GRC enables growth

    On this episode of Masters of Data, we sit down with Cassandra Mooseberger, Manager of Security Compliance at Sumo Logic, to unpack governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Cass breaks down her three-pillar framework: governance and compliance, risk management, and trust. She reveals how GRC teams can flip from cost center to sales enabler through trust pages, automated questionnaires, and proactive support. We explore practical strategies for working with engineering: listen first, understand before changing, and skip the "rip and replace" impulse. Cass walks through risk frameworks (treat, tolerate, transfer, terminate) and how AI is transforming evidence collection and questionnaire responses. The bottom line? GRC wins when it builds bridges, not roadblocks.

    Ep 26: You can patch your code, you can't patch burnout

    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. The key? Clear communication, realistic expectations, and making security's invisible impact visible.

    Ep 24: Governing AI in the age of agentic systems and Model Context Protocol

    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. We cover his roadmap for security leaders to build real controls and telemetry. His advice: treat agents like interns with root access. Get ahead of this before your agents do.

    Ep 23: How to bootstrap your AppSec program

    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 vulnerabilities attackers can actually exploit.
