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.

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

Under Armour had a few problems to solve with data ingest, routing, and other compliance needs. Does going full Cribl get us 60%, 80%, or 100% of our needs. Well, we are happy so far, but know our journey is just beginning. Join us to see how we went all in on Cribl to sort out our current needs and what is still in our pipelines to deploy for the next phase. We will share with you our architecture strategy and use cases so you can improve your deployment with the lessons we have learned.

If you’re looking to learn how Cribl functions and looks when a large enterprise’s ingest pipeline is not tied to your SIEM product, this is the session you won’t want to miss.

Under Armour - 0-60 with Cribl: Journey to a Unified Telemetry Architecture

Security teams are dealing with massive data growth, siloed tools, and constant alert fatigue. All of this makes it harder to detect and respond to threats. AI has become a key part of the solution, but its effectiveness depends on having access to complete, high-quality data. In this session, Palo Alto Networks and Deloitte will explore how AI and automation are redefining the modern Security Operations Center (SOC). Learn how leading organizations are leveraging intelligent workflows, automated threat detection, and machine learning to accelerate response times, reduce analyst fatigue, and strengthen overall security posture. Walk away with practical insights on building a more adaptive, efficient, and future-ready SOC.

The Modern SOC: Transforming Security Operations with AI and Automation

Security teams today are overwhelmed with data—but starved for context. In this session, we’ll show how you can turn raw security telemetry into actionable intelligence before it hits your SIEM by enriching it with Threat Intelligence (TI) directly in Cribl Stream.

You’ll learn how to seamlessly integrate TI feeds into your data pipeline to identify threats faster, reduce false positives, and supercharge your incident response. We’ll walk through real-world implementation strategies for consuming multiple TI sources, performing lookups and enrichments at scale, and delivering high-context, high-fidelity data into your SIEM.

But we won’t stop there—we’ll explore how disk-backed lookups in Cribl Stream unlock even greater potential, enabling large-scale enrichment while consolidating infrastructure and cutting down on vendor sprawl.

Key takeaways include:

-How to enrich security data in flight using TI feeds
-Real-world configs for powerful, efficient lookups
-The benefits of moving enrichment upstream—less noise, faster triage, and smarter alerts
-A roadmap to scalable, cost-effective enrichment with disk-backed lookups

If you're looking to boost detection fidelity and arm your analysts with the context they need, this session is your blueprint.

In this session, we’ll examine how Getty Images implemented Cribl Stream to transform telemetry data processing operations. Initially deployed to replay S3 data into Splunk software and manage Syslog and Crowdstrike feeds, this solution evolved into a cornerstone of our observability pipeline. 

We'll discuss how this implementation optimized analytics performance, reduced costs, and created strategic flexibility for future migrations. Key achievements include establishing effective disaster recovery processes through S3 data rehydration, implementing smart data retention policies, developing cost attribution mechanisms, and dramatically reducing operational overhead. 

This case study demonstrates how modern telemetry data architectures can deliver both immediate operational benefits and long-term strategic advantages for Getty Images.

We will investigate how Cribl Edge and Stream can complement an OpenTelemetry deployment in Kubernetes by providing central management of an OTel collector's instrumentation and additional processing capabilities of the telemetry it collects. Allowing OTel's language-specific Instrumentation Libraries to instrument traces, logs, and metrics directly from widely used Kubernetes services directly to Cribl Stream. Cribl can therefore serve as a unified fleet management platform for both deployments, while also using Edge to collect logs and metrics from the cluster itself.

Syslog: it's everywhere, it’s ancient, and let’s be honest — it rarely shows up the way the RFC says it should. Before you cut over to Cribl Stream, it pays to understand exactly what you're dealing with and why it matters. In this talk, we’ll demystify the syslog format (yes, the actual RFC 3164 and 5424 stuff), look at what happens when data goes rogue, and explore how Cribl can help bring order to the chaos.

We’ll walk through real-world strategies for getting your environment ready — from setting up syslog for parallel testing to pre-configuring your Cribl routes, pipelines, and parsing logic. If you’ve ever stared at a syslog payload and muttered “what even is this,” this session is for you.

Amazon Security Lake is a great service that makes the collection and centralization of critical AWS infrastructure logs simple and easy. However, getting the logs out of Amazon Security Lake and into your SIEM can be tricky and potentially very costly.

 In this talk, we will go over our approach to using Cribl Stream to get logs out of Amazon Security Lake for our 800+ AWS accounts, and how we went about configuring the various relevant pipelines to reduce, transform and aggregate events to achieve a 90%+ log reduction. This includes AWS WAF logs, Route53 DNS query logs, VPC flow logs, and CloudTrail S3 data events.

We'll go over some of the technical details on how we achieved this as well as some lessons learned we picked up along the way.
