Databricks

At #RSAC2026, Databricks co-founder and CEO Ali Ghodsi described a shift in how attacks are happening. AI agents now move in swarms, scan massive amounts of data, write code quickly, and only need a single success to compromise an organization. At the same time, teams are working with incomplete data, discarding signals, and trying to keep up inside overloaded SOC environments and siloed systems. His view is that this dynamic changes the role of traditional approaches, and that AI will replace SIEM this year. https://lnkd.in/gaT4EZbD

Octopus Energy, the UK’s largest energy provider, uses data to run a 1.8 GW virtual power plant made up of electric vehicles, deciding when to charge and discharge for cheaper power and a more stable grid. Operating across eight countries, the team brings data from across the business onto Databricks, ingesting more than 10 trillion rows last year, with Unity Catalog supporting secure access for thousands of users. They’re now exploring how to bring GenAI closer to governed data so more people can safely build and experiment. https://lnkd.in/gHRNVKjH

Database branching in Databricks Lakebase uses copy-on-write storage to create fully isolated environments in seconds without duplicating data. Most teams rely on shared staging databases or slow pg_dump copies that drift from production and make testing unreliable. Lakebase branches give every developer, pull request, and CI test run its own isolated environment, with instant point-in-time recovery and programmable ephemeral databases for AI agents through the same API. https://lnkd.in/gR_nVdzp
