It’s time to leave legacy SIEM behind

Ali Ghodsi & Ben Horowitz's RSA 2026 Keynote Replay

The rules of physics have changed. Your security must too.

We are in the midst of the largest secular shift of our lifetimes. Cyberattacks have transitioned from manual operations to autonomous AI swarms that weaponize vulnerabilities in hours, not months. Traditional security architectures, built for human-scale, have reached an architectural dead end.

In this 45-minute RSA keynote, Ali Ghodsi (Databricks Co-founder and CEO) and Ben Horowitz (Andreessen Horowitz Co-founder and General Partner) reveal why the "Petabyte Era" requires a fundamental shift from human-centric to machine-centric defense.

Key Takeaways:

• Zero-Day Weaponization: Understand the new reality where the time-to-exploit has shrunk from years to just 1.3 days, making manual SOC processes obsolete.
• The End of the "Data Tax": Stop paying to throw away data. Learn how legacy SIEM pricing forces you to discard vital telemetry, creating unsurvivable gaps in the age of AI.
• Multimodal Defense: Learn why traditional security tools are blind to 2026’s biggest threats and how to leverage multimodal data like video, audio, and chat data to stop threats like social engineering.
• Fight Agents with Agents: Discover how Lakewatch uses swarms of AI agents to automate detection, triage, and investigation natively where your data lives.
• The Power of Openness: See how an open ecosystem—built on Unity Catalog and OCSF—replaces proprietary black boxes with a unified open security lakehouse.
