Singapore boffins get diverse SIEMs singing in harmony with agentic rule translation
Researchers from Singapore and China have developed a technique called ARuleCon to translate security rules across different SIEM platforms, reducing complexity for security operations centers. The method uses an agentic approach to automate rule conversion, which is typically slow and labor-intensive when done manually. ARuleCon aims to improve interoperability among SIEMs that otherwise use incompatible rule formats.
- ▪Academics from the National University of Singapore and Fudan University developed ARuleCon for translating SIEM security rules.
- ▪SIEMs use proprietary rule formats, making cross-platform compatibility difficult without translation.
- ▪Manual rule conversion is time-consuming and burdensome for security experts.
- ▪Microsoft’s existing tool only converts Splunk rules to its Sentinel SIEM and lacks broader support.
- ▪The Sigma framework and other tools struggle with complex or interlinked rules, according to the researchers.

Security Singapore boffins get diverse SIEMs singing in harmony with agentic rule translation Vendors all use different formats. This tech translates them all so you can smooth your SOC Simon Sharwood Tue 5 May 2026 // 02:12 UTC Academics from Singapore and China have found a way to make AI useful for cyber-defenders, by creating a technique that translates rules from diverse Security Information and Event Managements (SIEMs) so they’re easier to consume across multiple systems. SIEMs collect log files from many sources and allow users to set rules that trigger alerts that a security operations center (SOC) considers in case they represent security incidents.
