Gurucul launches self-driving SIEM to automate security ops
Gurucul has announced the introduction of a Self-Driving SIEM powered by advanced AI capabilities, aiming to streamline and enhance security operations through automation and improved workflows. The latest upgrade to Gurucul's Unified Data and Security Analytics Platform, REVEAL, incorporates multiple AI agents across the entire threat management lifecycle. These autonomous features are designed to reduce engineering, maintenance, and operational tasks, providing what Gurucul describes as a "self-driving" SIEM that enables engineers, analysts, and investigators to focus on higher-value activities while AI manages repetitive work. Gurucul's Data Optimiser now includes new pipeline AI agents that autonomously discover, classify, normalise and filter data. According to the company, these features help customers control and optimise their security data fabric, with smart filtering reducing storage and processing costs. The reliance on manual data management is minimised, encompassing onboarding and tuning, which is intended to reduce costs by at least 40%. AI agents within the platform have been developed to detect evolving attack chains independently. This allows them to inform new machine learning detection models, signatures and rules, proactively optimising existing models and recommending additional data sources for expanded detection use cases. These AI-driven processes support real-time content creation of models and rules. The platform also introduces an AI virtual analyst to provide security teams with expert guidance and contextual insights. By automatically triaging alerts and appending relevant information, such as attack blast radius, MITRE ATT&CK framework alignment, and external threat intelligence, Gurucul's system aims to reduce analysts' workload. The AI component benefits from adaptive learning, refining its outputs based on historical data, prior detections and analyst feedback. Natural Language Processing (NLP) capabilities have been integrated to enable more efficient searching and content creation, including incident reports. AI-powered orchestration and response have also been upgraded, allowing the platform to dynamically modify and execute response playbooks based on real-time threat data. This is intended to ensure that automated incident response remains tailored to the specific policy and threat characteristics of each incident. Gurucul's Sme AI copilot, originally launched in August 2023, has received several updates, including advanced prompts, new prompt books, enhanced natural language search functions, and improved incident analysis and reporting. These upgrades are meant to provide deeper insights with reduced investigation times. Neda Pitt, Chief Information Security Officer at BELK, stated, "This is yet another reason why I chose to replace my legacy SIEM with the Gurucul platform. Even before these AI enhancements, the platform outperformed any other SIEM I've encountered. Now, with these Agentic AI capabilities, I'm glad I made the bet on the future of the industry. Gurucul is paving the path toward the autonomous SOC. My analysts have upleveled their productivity, and I can't wait for them to get to the next level with AI removing the busy work." Stewart Alpert, Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Technology Officer at Hornblower, added, "Gurucul has redefined what I expect from an AI-powered Next-Gen SIEM. It operates as a true force multiplier for my SOC — prioritised alerts, high-efficacy detections deeply aligned with our threat posture, and proactive responses. Another capability that truly stands apart is in its risk-based approach to identity: the precision with which they score and surface risky users has become a cornerstone of our insider threat programme." Jason Elmore, Chief Executive Officer at Tuearis Cyber, commented, "As an MSSP, we are always looking for ways to maximise value for our customers while optimising the workflows for our analysts and reducing costs. We picked Gurucul because they provide a truly differentiated platform that not only helped reduce our data management costs leveraging Snowflake but also helped us stay ahead of the threat landscape with advanced detection capabilities. It's innovations like these new Agentic AI capabilities that validate our decision to switch to Gurucul. They continue to offer modernisation that increases value delivery for our customers while maximising the output of our SOC." Saryu Nayyar, Chief Executive Officer at Gurucul, said, "Alert overload, the sophistication of threats and operational bottlenecks are some of the most pressing challenges in security operations today. We have built a small army of Agentic AI agents that go to work for you across the entire data and threat lifecycle, boosting analyst workflows to address these critical pain points." "We are flipping the idea of the resource-intensive traditional SIEM on its head to optimise SecOps resources and reduce time spent on data management, detection engineering, false positives, triage, investigation and response. We're continuing to disrupt the status quo, set the bar high, and solve real customer problems. These ground-breaking advancements with purpose-built AI use cases are helping SOC teams do their critical work efficiently with swift responses against modern threats." Gurucul's platform upgrade, including the enhanced Sme AI copilot and Agentic AI multi-agent workflows, has been made available since December 2024 as part of release v12.4.

New A3+ inkjet printer for enthusiast photographers: 10-colour pigment ink enhances the value of photo prints by realising rich colour expression and high light resistance
Today, Canon ( is releasing the imagePROGRAF PRO-310 ( a new inkjet printer for enthusiast photographers with 10-colour pigment ink for A3+ printing, which combines high photographic image quality, light-fastness and abrasion resistance. The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-310, a new product in the large-format inkjet printer series, is a printer that meets the needs of photographers who want to print their photos beautifully and display them as works of art for a long time. By adopting the newly developed pigment ink LUCIA PRO II1, the PRO series achieves outstanding photographic image quality, such as rich colours and deep blacks, while significantly improving the light resistance and abrasion resistance of printed materials, enabling the creation of high-quality works with rich expression and long-term storage. The new LUCIA PRO II inks, which are common to the higher-end models, use a pigment that is resistant to UV rays and does not deteriorate easily. As a result, the light resistance of printed materials reaches up to 200 years2, enabling long-term, archival storage. In addition, when printing on glossy paper, the wax added to the ink smooths the surface, making the printed materials highly resistant to abrasion. It also prevents scratches during post-printing operations such as framing and transportation, improving the ease of handling printed materials. When printing on glossy paper, the transparent Chroma Optimiser ink suppresses reflected light and evens out the gloss, allowing true reproduction of the original colours of photographs regardless of lighting, viewing angle or other environmental conditions. When printing on fine art paper, matte black ink with high black density enables deep, tight blacks. It enhances light and scratch resistance, while creating expressive works that reproduce rich colours and subject textures. Styrofoam used in product packing for the previous model3 has been replaced with recyclable corrugated cardboard and pulp molds, reducing the amount of single use plastic. 1 The same pigment ink used in imagePROGRAF PRO-6600/4600/2600/1100 is used for 9 colours, excluding matte black ink. Matte black uses the same ink as imagePROGRAF GP-4000/2000. 2 When using Canon Photo Paper Pro Platinum. Predicted values calculated in accordance with the indoor light resistance test method and life evaluation criteria of the digital colour photographic print image preservation evaluation method (JEITA CP-3901B) issued by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). 3 imagePROGRAF PRO-300 (released July 2020) Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Canon Central and North Africa (CCNA).
