Detection-Aware Reduction
Safe cost reduction starts with confidence that any event you stop sending isn’t needed by a downstream detection. Realm validates potential reduction rules against the rules running in your SIEM.
Stop the Source of SIEM Cost Bloat
It doesn’t matter if it’s a Splunk ingest bill or a Microsoft Sentinel invoice. Data your SIEM ingests — but rarely or never queries — increases your SIEM renewal costs without adding security value. Realm gives you a sustainable, automated solution for reducing data volumes and cutting SIEM costs without hand-written regex or heavy forwarders.
Reduce SIEM ingestion without risk
Test Impact Before Deployment
See how reduction rules behave in practice before they touch your production data. Realm shows you potential impacts on match rate, evidence, volume savings, and downstream impact, in a staging mode running against live data.
Retain a Full, Immutable Copy of Your Data
Reducing what hits your SIEM works best when the rest of the data stays available for compliance, investigations, and retrospective hunting, with no restore fees and no separate data engineering project.
How Realm Cuts SIEM Costs
Realm is the SOC-aware security data pipeline that stays independent of any single SIEM. Every reduction generated by Realm’s AI is vetted against your detection logic and reviewable in staging before any production data is touched.
Personalized Recommendations
Within hours of connecting a source, Realm analyzes your actual log composition and generates personalized reduction recommendations with a plain-English justification of what it filters and what the volume reduction impact would be. Each recommendation is checked against a knowledge base of SIEM detection logic before it reaches you.

Tested Reduction Rules
Every reduction rule runs in staging against live production data before you promote it. You decide whether to deploy based on the match rate, evidence, volume savings, and downstream impact. Nothing leaves your SIEM until you’ve seen proof it’s safe.
Pending
Runs on live data but changes nothing — it only collects the evidence of what it would remove.

Active
Only after you activate does the rule reduce your live data stream.
Validation against the rules running in your SIEM
Realm maintains a continuously updated knowledge base of detection logic across Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, QRadar, Google SecOps, CrowdStrike Falcon, and more. Before a rule is even recommended, Realm validates that no known downstream detection depends on the events it would remove.

Smart Data Routing
The volume you remove from the SIEM is routed automatically to Data Haven, Realm’s normalized-format archive, where you can search by IOC, time range, or source product, and resupply to your SIEM on demand for retrospective correlation.
