About this episode

Chas Clawson discusses how Sumo Logic's agentic framework is transforming cloud security through clean data and autonomous agents.

Sumo Logic 's VP of Security Strategy reveals how a ground-up agentic framework transformed their platform, and why clean data and autonomous agents are rewriting the rules of cloud security. Topics Include: Sumo Logic is a cloud analytics platform ingesting data from complex IT stacks. Built on AWS from the start, leveraging microservices for scalable solutions.

Customer feedback drove a decision to redesign AI from the ground up. The Dojo AI framework unifies purpose-built agents across the entire platform. New agents include a SOC analyst agent, knowledge agent, and MCP server. New frontier models on Bedrock give the whole platform an instant brain transplant. Autonomous agents require rethinking security controls beyond traditional programmatic guardrails. Federal and global customers demand rigorous, levelled-up security across all regions. Clean, normalized data proved the biggest unlock for reliable AI query results. Agent-to-agent communication and MCP will define the next era of AI platforms. Participants: Chas Clawson –…
