What is OpenCTI?

OpenCTI's weekly train now merges entities in the knowledge view and reads defanged IOCs.

Filigran ships an OpenCTI weekly build plus backports to two LTS lines (7.2603 and 7.2608). The 10-16 weekly lets analysts merge entities directly from the knowledge view, search defanged indicators globally, collapse the ATT&CK pattern matrix and trim empty sections from generated Fintel reports. Earlier weeklies added enrichment from investigations, chatbot quotas and manual security coverage.

What is Superwise?

Superwise is turning its LLM gateway into a FinOps console for model fleets

Superwise's Sentinel line has gained an observability layer in two steps: a live fleet-wide activity log of every interaction crossing the gateways, then a FinOps dashboard reporting token consumption, cache-hit rate, reasoning ratio and output-to-input ratio by provider, model and sentinel. Both are explicitly metadata-only, with prompts and responses staying inside the customer's environment.

OpenCTI's weekly train now merges entities in the knowledge view and reads defanged IOCs.

◆ Current state

Filigran ships an OpenCTI weekly build plus backports to two LTS lines (7.2603 and 7.2608). The 10-16 weekly lets analysts merge entities directly from the knowledge view, search defanged indicators globally, collapse the ATT&CK pattern matrix and trim empty sections from generated Fintel reports. Earlier weeklies added enrichment from investigations, chatbot quotas and manual security coverage.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is analyst ergonomics inside the knowledge graph: fewer context switches to deduplicate, enrich and report, layered on an access-control hardening pass that the LTS patches backport. Many long-standing feature requests (some with issue numbers in the 8,000-14,000 range) are now landing, which suggests a backlog-clearing phase.

◆ Prediction

Expect more old knowledge-view and filter requests to close in coming weeklies, and LTS patches that backport this month's access fixes. The entries don't show when a new LTS line will be cut.

Superwise is turning its LLM gateway into a FinOps console for model fleets

◆ Current state

Superwise's Sentinel line has gained an observability layer in two steps: a live fleet-wide activity log of every interaction crossing the gateways, then a FinOps dashboard reporting token consumption, cache-hit rate, reasoning ratio and output-to-input ratio by provider, model and sentinel. Both are explicitly metadata-only, with prompts and responses staying inside the customer's environment.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is moving from policy enforcement toward cost accountability, and the metadata-only boundary is being used as the selling point rather than a limitation. Underneath, routine work continues on gateway sharing, policy previews and keeping the supported model list current.

◆ Prediction

Cost visibility usually precedes cost control, so expect budget thresholds or routing policies that act on the FinOps metrics rather than only reporting them.
