OCSF, Schemas, and the Convergence of Security and Data Engineering with Zach Schmerber (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Zach joins Kostas and Nitay to trace how security data turned into a full-blown data engineering problem. He walks through his path from hospital networks with a sprawling attack surface, into tightly regulated banking, and then into big tech, where petabyte-scale volumes broke the Splunk-style stack he was hired to optimize and pushed him toward columnar storage and table formats like Iceberg and Delta.
