As digital infrastructure grows more complex, organizations are under pressure to gain clearer visibility into how their systems are performing—and whether they’re secure. With Cisco’s acquisition of Splunk and Presidio’s recent acquisition of Kinney Group, the focus is shifting toward proactive observability and practical AI adoption.

This week, host Allec Brust is joined by Jim Kinney, founder of Kinney Group and leader of Presidio’s Splunk Solutions Practice, and Cory Minton, Field CTO of Splunk Practice at Cisco. Together, they break down how these shifts are helping teams apply data more effectively and move from reactive repair to proactive care.
