LogRhythm has announced its 9th consecutive quarterly release, marking a significant milestone in its mission to aid security teams in preventing breaches by converting fragmented data and signals into reliable insights. In an era increasingly dominated by AI, LogRhythm's latest enhancements are designed to empower security teams with the highest integrity data available, bolstering the effectiveness of AI tools used to protect organizations from cyberthreats.
The new release introduces simplified data retention, further boosting analyst efficiency and easing compliance with industry standards and regulations. Chris O’Malley, CEO of LogRhythm, emphasized the company's dedication to customer satisfaction and innovation: “At LogRhythm, our relentless focus on customer satisfaction drives us to continuously innovate and deliver solutions that meet our clients’ evolving needs.

We are proud to provide our customers with the cleanest, most reliable data possible to empower them to move into AI-driven security strategies with confidence.”
Enhancing Data Quality for AI-Driven Security
The efficiency of AI models is directly linked to the quality of data they receive. Many vendors in the cybersecurity space claim to leverage AI, but often overlook the crucial aspect of data quality. LogRhythm’s latest update addresses this issue head-on, underscoring the importance of trustworthy data in staying ahead of cyberthreats.
This quarter, LogRhythm is highlighting its cutting-edge Machine Data Intelligence (MDI) Fabric for the AI-ready Security Operations Center (SOC). The MDI Fabric is engineered to collect and organize a variety of log sources, converting them into structured, searchable datasets. Over the past 20 years, this fabric has been meticulously refined to ensure unparalleled accuracy and reliability of ingested data. This robust data foundation enhances search, analytics, and investigation capabilities, allowing analysts to operate with unprecedented efficiency and precision.
“Our latest enhancements are designed to drive analyst efficiency and augment the capabilities of security teams,” said Andrew Hollister, CISO at LogRhythm. “By simplifying tasks like compliance reporting and enabling more precise investigations, we’re empowering security teams to adapt to changing threats and requirements while maintaining peak operational effectiveness in the modern era of AI-adoption.”
Key Features of the Latest Release
LogRhythm’s new release comes with several notable features aimed at elevating security team efficiency and simplifying compliance reporting:
AWS S3 Log Streaming: Enables cost-effective and straightforward data retention in a searchable format, facilitating compliance audits and long-term forensic searches.
Compliance Frameworks: Out-of-the-box frameworks for NIST SP 800-171 and NIST CSF 2.0 allow analysts to generate evidence quickly and accurately.
User and Host Analysis: Enhanced search and case management capabilities offer in-depth drilldowns for thorough investigations without losing the context of the original query.
Advanced Real-Time Correlation: Supports complex, multi-layer analytics rules for key use cases, such as temporary account usage and lateral movement with account sweeps.
New Capabilities for SIEM Integration
LogRhythm has also introduced new capabilities to accelerate log data integration and analysis:

Industry Feedback
Phil Swain, CISO and Vice President of Information Security at Extreme Networks, highlighted the impact of LogRhythm's updates on their security strategy: “Our partnership with LogRhythm has been instrumental in staying ahead of the curve in today’s threat landscape. As a leading network solutions provider, we know firsthand that all technology strategies, including using AI and ensuring a secure network perimeter, rely on having accurate data. The regular quarterly updates from LogRhythm mean that we always have access to the latest innovations and updates to not only maintain but also improve our security posture.”
Dallas Hammer, CISSP, CISO at NDM Technologies, echoed this sentiment: “The JSON Policy Builder and Lumberjack JSON Listener allow us to collect and normalize emerging log sources much faster and easier than we could before, giving NDM’s SOC more time to focus on detection rather than collection.”
With this latest release, LogRhythm continues to solidify its position as a leader in the cybersecurity industry, providing security teams with the tools and data they need to effectively counter the ever-evolving landscape of cyberthreats.
