What is Feedly?
Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
What is Parseable?
Parseable is bolting real auth onto a log store — API keys, dataset permissions, Kafka IAM.
The 2.7 through 2.9 line is dominated by authentication and access control. API keys arrived for ingestion and query, then as a managed feature, then had a security risk patched within weeks. Dataset-level user auth landed, OAuth sync was fixed, and the newest release adds AWS MSK IAM authentication over SASL/OAUTHBEARER plus a configurable OAuth provider for Kafka ingestion. Around it sit steady query and ingestion improvements: top-k in the counts API, insertion-time rather than data-time eviction, and field statistics reworked for high-volume ingestion.

Feedly's reader roots recede as threat-intel agents take over the changelog
◆ Current state
Feedly's changelog is now almost entirely a cyber threat intelligence product log. The last three months added models tuned for insider threats and threat actor campaigns, Suricata rule extraction, SPL queries alongside KQL, GreyNoise and VirusTotal enrichment, and a Vulnerability Agent. The August release extends Custom Intel Agents with Analyze and Research actions and adds a Censys lookup to IP cards.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from retrieval toward analysis: earlier releases broadened what Feedly could collect, recent ones give analysts agents that reason over it and emit artifacts their existing tools accept. Report Builder citations that trace a claim to its source passage target the trust problem gating generated intelligence in a SOC. Coverage has become table stakes; the contest is over whether analysts accept the machine's conclusions.
◆ Prediction
Expect the agent surface to keep gaining verbs rather than new data sources, with more export formats aimed at the SIEM and detection tooling analysts already run.
Parseable
5.0ANALYTICS
Parseable is bolting real auth onto a log store — API keys, dataset permissions, Kafka IAM.
◆ Current state
The 2.7 through 2.9 line is dominated by authentication and access control. API keys arrived for ingestion and query, then as a managed feature, then had a security risk patched within weeks. Dataset-level user auth landed, OAuth sync was fixed, and the newest release adds AWS MSK IAM authentication over SASL/OAUTHBEARER plus a configurable OAuth provider for Kafka ingestion. Around it sit steady query and ingestion improvements: top-k in the counts API, insertion-time rather than data-time eviction, and field statistics reworked for high-volume ingestion.
◆ Where it's heading
This is a project moving from single-tenant tool to something an organisation can hand to multiple teams: credentials that can be scoped and revoked, datasets that respect who is asking, and ingestion paths that authenticate against managed cloud services rather than static secrets. The speed with which an API key security risk appeared and was fixed shows the auth surface is new enough to still be settling.
◆ Prediction
Expect the access control work to continue toward finer granularity — dataset permissions are in place, so per-key scoping and audit trails are the natural next steps. The Kafka OAuth provider being made configurable rather than MSK-specific suggests more managed-broker integrations follow.
