Ep 26: You can patch your code, you can't patch burnout

Jan 20, 2026 By Sumo Logic, Inc. In Sumo Logic
In this episode of Masters of Data, we tackle why cybersecurity professionals burn out, and it's not just long hours. We explore how repetitive tasks, limited growth, and work that feels invisible drain security teams who face constant vigilance with few wins and no finish line. We discuss how high-stakes environments and rigid SLAs prevent real breaks, then share solutions: celebrate small victories, recognize contributions, prioritize physical health, and protect work-life balance. The key? Clear communication, realistic expectations, and making security's invisible impact visible.

So let’s talk about Token Torching. Yes, I invented another name. This isn’t data theft. It’s not taking your service down.

SIEM Automation to Improve Threat Detection and Incident Response

Jan 14, 2026 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Security professionals often compare their jobs to a game of “Whack-a-Mole,” the arcade game where players try to hit little plastic moles on the head. The moles pop up in a randomly generated way, making it difficult to predict which one will show its little head next.

Using LLMs, CVSS, and SIEM Data for Runtime Risk Prioritization

Jan 13, 2026 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
A recent University of North Carolina Wilmington study tested whether general-purpose large language models could infer CVSS v3.1 base metrics using only CVE description text, across more than 31,000 vulnerabilities. The results show measurable progress, but they also expose a hard limit that matters far more than model selection: Model quality helps, but missing context sets a ceiling on reliability.

Jan 13, 2026 By Sridhar Karnam In Sumo Logic
