AI is reshaping every organization—but it also raises the stakes. Trusted AI, machine-speed threats, and exploding volumes of machine data are creating new challenges for security, IT, and engineering teams.
Join us at Splunk Go San Jose to discover how Splunk and Cisco are redefining digital resilience for the agentic era. Through customer stories, live demonstrations, and expert-led sessions, you'll learn practical strategies to build reliable AI, strengthen security, and transform machine data into intelligent action.
Whether you're part of Security Operations (SOC), IT Operations, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Platform Engineering, Infrastructure & Cloud Operations, Observability, Network Operations, or Enterprise Architecture, you'll leave with actionable insights you can apply immediately.
What You'll Learn
At .conf26, we envisioned an agentic, AI-ready world defined by digital resilience. Today, we turn that vision into reality through unified, actionable intelligence. We have delivered on our promise to federate data and secure AI stacks. Experience the next phase of our journey with new innovations in agentic operations.
See how Splunk and Cisco accelerate your ability to defend at machine speed. Learn how we optimize AI performance, costs, and governance at scale. Join us to see the latest tools for your SecOps and ITOps workflows. Build the future of resilient, autonomous operations with our unified data platform.
Your expertise, combined with our platform, defines resilience in the agentic era.
In this deep dive, go beyond the .conf26 announcements to see how Splunk and Cisco’s latest innovations work in practice. Explore how to connect data across your environment, bring richer context to security and observability, and put AI to work with the visibility and control your teams need.
AI is only as reliable as the data beneath it. Yet fragmented data estates and rising costs stall many AI initiatives before they scale. In this session, Presidio asks a practical question: is your data foundation ready for AI? Learn how a Data Value Assessment shows which data drives outcomes and which just drives cost, and how the Cisco Data Fabric, powered by Splunk, unifies fragmented machine data into a trusted, governed foundation. Leave with a clear approach to managing your data estate more intentionally, so you can reduce waste, strengthen digital resilience, and scale AI on data you can trust.
Experience the future of the Security Operations Center. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use Splunk Enterprise Security 8.6 and realistic Threat Gen data to transform manual tasks into autonomous workflows. From triage to response, discover how to leverage AI to streamline investigation summaries, generate SOAR playbooks via natural language, and scale your impact. We’ll conclude with a deep dive into MCP Server integrations and PEAK-driven threat hunting to show how you can push Splunk beyond its native boundaries.
