Architecting for the Future: How AI Will Reshape Data, Security, and Observability in 2026

Watch On-Demand

In 2026, IT, Security, and Observability leaders face a pivotal moment: Modernize architectures to handle AI-scale data efficiently — or face spiraling costs, blind spots, and systemic fragility as agents become a core part of enterprise operations.

In this on-demand webinar, we’ll walk you through the trends and predictions that reveal how AI will reshape the economics, security, and architecture of data in the coming years, and what leaders must do now to prepare.

This session explores:

  • The hidden danger of data saturation in observability: Why too much data is breaking observability budgets and how to regain control through smarter filtering, routing, and storage strategies

  • Data security and resilience in an AI world: How AI-driven observability pipelines become attack surfaces if left unmanaged, and what practices can keep AI scaling safe

  • Why most 2026 AI rollouts will fail: Why legacy data platforms are ill-equipped for an agentic future

  • Why AI-drive vendor consolidation will upend procurement: How growing lock-in risks limit choice and how open pipelines keep you flexible

  • How financial pressures will slow AI growth: How credit constraints will limit data-center build-out and force leaner AI strategies.

Get ahead of AI-driven change. Watch now to learn how to future-proof your stack and stay ahead of accelerating AI demands.
