Is your organization’s security architecture prepared for the era of AI-driven threats? In this episode of the Wake Up X Solutions Podcast, host Efren Salazar sits down with Larry Switzer, Head of North American Sales at Ziggiz, to dissect the critical flaws in legacy cybersecurity models and explore the future of cyber defense.

As the cyber landscape evolves, traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems are struggling to keep pace with petabyte-scale data ingestion and real-time threat detection. Larry explains how Ziggiz, a DARPA-funded innovator, is fundamentally rethinking security by building a 'cyber data plane' on Databricks. This shift from search-based legacy tools to advanced analytics allows for 25x greater efficiency and deeper insights, ensuring that security teams aren't just reacting to incidents, but proactively defending their infrastructure.
