  "account": "Sumo Logic, a data analytics software company, has introduced an enhanced Data Pipelines service that empowers customers to manipulate telemetry data before it is stored and processed. The controls are integrated within the company's platform itself, rather than being part of a separate tool. As security and operations teams generate an increasing amount of telemetry data, the company argues that the need for such data is intensifying due to the implementation of artificial intelligence workloads. Ingesting all the data can quickly become costly. An alternative approach involves collecting less data, which may save money in the short term, but may also result in the loss of crucial information during investigations. Gartner Inc. published a report on September 2 that highlights the trend of organizations automatically collecting all their operational data and analyzing it later. This approach has led to high ingestion and storage costs, making it unfeasible, according to Gartner. Moreover, the report mentions that the large volume of poor-quality telemetry hinders the performance of generative AI and large language models that utilize this data. Sumo Logic has ingested and analyzed nearly seven exabytes of data daily for numerous customers in the security and operations sectors. With this new release, customers now have control over what data is excluded from this flow, and this decision is made before the data is ingested. The release includes two key features. The first feature, a live preview, enables customers to visualize the impact of a rule on a stream before activating it. This preview includes options for routing data to a more cost-effective tier or directing it to an external destination. The second feature is an assistant that generates these rules, a task that previously required several hours of manual work. The assistant identifies anomalies and format changes in incoming data and recommends actions such as routing, transforming, or discarding the data, which still require human approval. Keith Kuchler, Sumo Logic's chief product and technology officer, highlights that the company has been transforming vast amounts of \"noise\" into actionable insights for customers over the past 15 years. However, the advent of artificial intelligence has made this task more complex and resource-intensive. By moving data strategy decisions to an earlier stage, teams can define the purpose of their data before incurring storage costs. Additional updates to this service are expected later this year, including a visual, AI-assisted method for shaping telemetry before it enters the platform or a customer's own cloud storage, as well as controls for managing data collected from cloud and edge sources. A platform-agnostic version of the service, which will apply to data sent to other vendors' tools, is planned for a subsequent release. Furthermore, an OpenTelemetry-native management layer is in development, which will consolidate collector configuration, monitoring, and deployment within a single console, eliminating the need for additional agents and associated costs. Sumo Logic is owned by Francisco Partners, which acquired the company privately in 2023 for $1.7 billion. The company is showcasing the expanded pipelines in London this week at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit.",
