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.

Major incidents can be short or long. Sarah Ryan, our PagerDuty On PagerDuty Program Manager, shares how we manage them in this PagerDuty song.

Jacky Leybman from PagerDuty and Kaninie Knight from Slack share how their integration streamlines incident response and real-time collaboration. This session highlights practical workflows and measurable gains – such as faster triage and lower MTTR – achieved by connecting on-call operations directly in Slack.

In this session, Jacky Leybman from PagerDuty and David Lotan Bolotnikoff from Logz.io showcase how PagerDuty and Logz.io combine generative AI with rich historical context to automate root cause analysis and accelerate incident response. By correlating real-time telemetry with prior incidents and runbooks, teams reduce manual toil and MTTR while maintaining human-in-the-loop oversight and transparent reasoning.

In this video, SolarWinds Tech Evangelist Chrystal Taylor and Staff Technical Trainer Cheryl Nomanson walk through a hands-on demo of the SolarWinds AI Agent, currently available for tech preview in SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted.

Tune in for spotlights of Bits AI SRE, now generally available, and Datadog’s MCP Server, which connects AI agents to our platform by ingesting prompts and mapping them to Datadog resources and data. Plus, we cover how to: Search logs at petabyte scale in your own infrastructure with CloudPrem Break down costs drivers at the prefix level with Storage Management Create workflows that adapt to real-world complexity with Agent Builder Detect and block credential leaks with Secret Scanning.
