Speakers

In this episode of Masters of Data, We sat down with Jeremy Powell, CISO at Sumo Logic, to unpack how AI is reshaping security operations from the SOC floor to the boardroom. Jeremy walks us through Sumo Logic’s agentic security program, where AI agents now handle first-line triage, red-team the company’s own defenses, and cut incident response time by 60%. We also get into what it means to lead a security team when execution is no longer the bottleneck and empathy becomes a core leadership skill. This one is for security leaders trying to move AI agents out of pilot mode and into real production workflows.
