Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

On this episode of Masters of Data, we revisit the predictions Adam White, Zoe Hawkins, and David Girvin made at the end of last year, checking our own scorecard halfway through 2026. The hits: agents running amok and deleting databases, MCP becoming the backbone for tracking what agents actually do, growing security gaps around personal data, and a collective rejection of low-quality AI content. The misses: we underestimated how fast companies would cut staff for AI, then quietly start rehiring once the agents couldn't cover the work, and we're still arguing about whether token burn is a cost problem or a coming attack vector.

Network security policy management systems must accurately track dynamic IP address changes within tags to correctly answer traffic simulation queries. This ensures policy compliance even as cloud environments scale elastically, preventing redundant audit alerts.
