The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
AI agents just got smarter thanks to PagerDuty + AWS
We are on the ground with AWS and announcing innovations that give customers more powerful AI agents for incident management. These new and improved integrations bring PagerDuty context into the AWS ecosystem for faster resolution and more connected data across the business. And, with our new competency, we take this a step further by codifying these best practices into our joint customers’ day-to-day operations. Announced today, here are some of the highlights.
Observability in the AI age: Datadog's approach
Ten years ago, Datadog was a single-product company focused on breaking down the silos between dev and ops. As the shift towards the cloud accelerated and organizations transitioned to the new DevOps model, we set out to develop an observability platform that would enable these teams to safely scale faster and answer the essential questions about their services: are they available, secure, compliant, performant, and cost-efficient?
Part 1: What If Data Wasn't Just the Fuel for AI but the Foundation of Everything It Knows?
Every breakthrough begins with a question. What if we looked beyond today’s tools, buzzwords, and hype and examined the design principles shaping tomorrow’s intelligent enterprises? The What If series explores those inflection points: moments where technology meets human judgment, where automation meets accountability, and where AI begins to resemble something more like understanding than output.
Enhancing Productivity with Predictive Analytics and AI
Dex aims to improve productivity and strategic leadership through predictive analytics and AI solutions. It highlights proactive problem-solving and the necessity for visibility in monitoring systems. Leadership is urged to understand how IT affects staff satisfaction and business outcomes. Immediate goals focus on enhancing visibility, while long-term strategies should align Dex's results with business priorities to secure support and investment.
Autonomous SOC: Moving Toward Self-Driving Security Operations
The idea of a fully autonomous security operations center (SOC) sparks fascination and skepticism in equal measure. Swimlane defines an autonomous SOC as a center that uses AI, machine learning and automation to handle a significant portion of security tasks, including threat detection, triage and even remediation, with minimal human intervention. The goal is to free analysts from repetitive tasks so they can focus on strategy and threat hunting. Although a completely selfdriving SOC remains aspirational, advances in hyperautomation, enterprise automation architectures and AI agents are bringing us closer.
European enterprises prioritise governance in AI deployments, as North America accelerates towards full autonomy
Digitate report reveals differing approaches to AI deployment between Europe and North America, but ROI remains consistent. Europe leading on governance while NA organisations show faster progress towards autonomous operations.
Why AI Will Push #Telemetry Budgets to the Breaking Point in 2026
Telemetry growth is about to hit a new level in 2026. Nick Heudecker from Cribl walks through our new predictions report and explains why observability costs are set to surge again, with more than a third of enterprises spending at least 15 % of their IT budgets on telemetry alone. He also shares how agentic AI adds new risk to the data pipeline, why most AI workloads will struggle to scale, and how platform shifts and market forces will reshape the data landscape.
#AI Powered Data Protection Inside Cribl Guard
Cribl Guard uses an always running AI agent to spot sensitive data as it moves through your environment and recommend the right protections in real time. In this demo, you will see how the agent samples live events, identifies patterns like credentials and credit cards, and turns them into one click fixes that keep your destinations safe. Faster detection, smarter rule recommendations, and instant mitigation. This is what modern data protection looks like.
New agents in the Dojo: Expanded Sumo Logic Dojo AI
Back in September, we unveiled Sumo Logic Dojo AI, our agentic AI platform built to power intelligent security operations and incident response. With that launch, we introduced Mobot, our conversational interface, as well as our first agents designed to help automate routine tasks, streamline investigations, and give security teams the freedom and ability to focus on analyzing the highest value security issues facing their organization. Today, we’re excited to share the latest additions to Dojo AI.
