As security alerts skyrocket and cloud infrastructure becomes the new normal, is the traditional Security Operations Center officially hitting its breaking point?

In this live episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast recorded at Security Field Day, host Tom Hollingsworth is joined by analysts Jack Poller and Fernando Montenegro to dissect the massive shifts hitting SecOps.

The panel dives into the implications of the Google/Wiz acquisition and Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud moves, settling the debate on where cloud security truly belongs. They also engage in a heated discussion on the "Pets vs. Cattle" architecture in security, the rise of agentic AI, and whether automation can truly save analysts from burnout or if we’re just building a faster treadmill.

The gap between what AI vendors build and what customers actually need has reached a breaking point in 2026.

In this episode of Security Boulevard, hosts Tom Hollingsworth, Mitch Ashley, and Fernando Montenegro discuss the growing tension between vendor roadmaps and user reality.

From the rise of "vibe coding" and shadow AI to the critical need for faster OODA loops in cybersecurity, they explore how organizations are struggling to govern a world where anyone with a credit card and a browser can deploy an agent.
