Why Manual Security Operations are Failing in 2026 | Ali Ghodsi at RSAC

Security alerts have jumped from 7,500 to over 32,000 per week since 2020. At RSAC 2026, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi explains why the current manual approach to security is no longer sustainable. Key Insights: - The Alert Surge: Organizations are now facing an average of 32,000 weekly security alerts. - The Labor Gap: With each alert taking roughly 30 minutes to review, a typical company would need over 400 people just to manage the volume. - The Future Outlook: These figures are likely underestimates and are expected to worsen significantly within the next six months.
