VirtualMetric DataStream introduces V-Pilot and new data-control capabilities

VirtualMetric DataStream has introduced V-Pilot, an AI assistant built directly into the platform, alongside new capabilities for sensitive-data protection, data integrity and proactive monitoring. The update is designed to help security teams operate complex data pipelines while retaining control over how data is collected, processed and routed.

V-Pilot is available as a chat panel within the DataStream interface. Operators can ask questions about their own tenant, investigate issues such as missing device data, understand alerts and errors, and consult platform documentation without repeatedly moving between configuration screens and reference material.

The assistant can also draft and repair data pipelines, find the relevant resources and propose tasks such as deploying a Director. A proposal can cover multiple resources, but changes are previewed and applied only after user approval. Long-running tasks can continue in the background, actions are audited, and conversations remain private. V-Pilot is available on every DataStream plan.

The release also extends protection and monitoring across the data path. Target-level sensitive-data protection can redact, mask, hash or encrypt values before delivery, and prevents records from being sent when required protection cannot be applied. Sensitive Data Rules can be tuned or created and tested against sample values; they also govern masking in Live Data, console logs and target-level protection.

For data integrity, LogChain lets Agents sign outgoing data so a Director can check that it arrives unchanged, in order and complete. New anomaly detection, volume monitoring and forecast rules help teams identify event storms, gradual declines, queue pressure, disk pressure and target-delivery lag before those conditions reach configured limits.

Security and infrastructure teams also gain broader collection and integration options. The update adds support for Oracle Solaris, IBM AIX and macOS Agents; more than 30 data sources; additional agent datasets; AWS Secrets Manager integration; and updated targets for Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSIAM and Google Chronicle. Microsoft Sentinel Smart Engine workspace analysis and deployment templates add further options for assessing retained fields and expected savings before activation.

VirtualMetric DataStream is available through Elevan Cyber in Latin America and Spain. Organizations looking to optimize security data pipelines, control SIEM ingestion costs and preserve operational visibility can contact the Elevan Cyber team to discuss how the new capabilities fit their detection, investigation and operational requirements.
