Security teams face a challenging balancing act: controlling spiraling SIEM costs while expanding telemetry coverage to detect sophisticated threats. Every new log source, from firewall to endpoint, identity, and cloud, adds essential visibility but also drives up storage, compute, and licensing expenses. The harsh reality? A significant portion of ingested logs provides minimal security value.
Consider the typical enterprise environment: routine firewall allow events, redundant authentication logs, and benign system heartbeats can comprise 70-90% of the total log volume. These logs consume substantial SIEM resources while rarely contributing to threat detection or investigations. Until now, security teams had few options beyond manual, static filtering rules that required constant tuning and often created blind spots.
With Realm, these non-essential logs are intelligently filtered before they reach your SIEM, significantly reducing costs and noise. Crucially, this filtered data isn't simply discarded; it's cost-effectively stored in a data archive, like Realm Data Haven, ensuring it remains accessible for forensic analysis, compliance, or long-term storage requirements if ever needed.
The AI-Powered Solution: Intelligent Filtering That Adapts to Your Environment
Realm Focus introduces AI-Powered Filtering Rules, a breakthrough approach for Security Data Pipeline Platforms, (SDPPs) that automatically identifies and removes low-value telemetry without sacrificing security coverage. Unlike legacy pipeline solutions that rely on brittle, static rules, Realm’s AI engine analyzes your real-time log flow to generate source-specific filtering recommendations tailored to your environment.

How AI-Powered Filtering Rules Work
Real-Time Analysis: Our AI engine analyzes statistically meaningful structures in your incoming log streams, identifying occurrence patterns in the context of security relevancy, without relying on sensitive content.
Source-Specific Intelligence: Filtering recommendations are tailored to each of your log sources rather than generic catch-all rules.
Explainable AI: Every recommendation includes plain-English justification explaining what's being filtered, why it's safe to remove, and how it impacts downstream workflows.
Human-in-the-Loop Control: AI provides recommendations, but security experts maintain full approval authority—no blind automation or auto-deletion.
