About this episode

Pranava Adduri and George Gerchow discuss the importance of data visibility and a data-first security approach in the context of AI-driven enterprises.

Security incidents don't end when the threat is contained. They end when you can confirm no sensitive data left the building and most teams can't confirm that. Pranava Adduri and George Gerchow of Bedrock Data joined the show to talk through what data visibility actually looks like at enterprise scale, why the office of no is dead, and what a DBOM has to do with AI compliance. Together they make the case that data-first security isn't just a better posture, it's the only posture that survives an AI-driven enterprise.
