How to Cut SIEM Ingest by 90% Without Losing Detection Coverage

Sep 4, 2026 By VirtualMetric In VirtualMetric
Every SOC team knows the trade-off. Send everything to the SIEM platform and pay for it. Or filter aggressively and risk missing something. Filter lists are written once, during onboarding. Detection content keeps moving after that. Smart Engine, the new core of the VirtualMetric DataStream pipeline, takes the guesswork out of that decision. It reduces SIEM ingest using your registered detection rules. An event that no registered detection could match is dropped.

Live Debugging for Critical Systems: MTBF, MTTR & MTTA

Sep 4, 2026 By Lightrun Team In Lightrun

Sep 4, 2026 By Jack Rothrock In Scout
You’ve watched Claude Code compact a conversation. The context bar fills, it pauses, a summary appears, and it carries on like nothing happened. You probably assumed a housekeeping script trimmed the transcript in the background. It didn’t. The model compacted itself. When the window fills, Claude Code sends a long, specific prompt telling the model how to summarize its own conversation. Then it does, same model, same turn.

Sep 3, 2026 By Phillip Haydon In Raygun
