Coralogix and Skyflow Redefine Privacy-Safe Observability for the AI Era

SAN FRANCISCO & BOSTON—March 21, 2026— Coralogix and Skyflow are launching a strategic partnership designed to help organizations safeguard sensitive customer data within logs. This collaboration ensures robust data protection without compromising the ability to perform searches, investigations, or leverage AI-driven operations.

Logs and telemetry play a critical role in debugging, incident response, security analysis, and AI workflows. However, they often contain sensitive customer data, embedded both in structured fields and unstructured text. While many observability tools mitigate this risk through redaction, this approach comes at a cost—eliminating exposure but also stripping away context. The result? Logs become more difficult to query, correlate, and operationalize effectively.

Coralogix and Skyflow take a fundamentally different approach: protect sensitive customer data by default while preserving the usability of observability data across humans and AI systems.

“The traditional approach of redaction creates a false trade-off between safety and usefulness,” said Anshu Sharma, CEO of Skyflow. “Once sensitive data is stripped out, teams lose the ability to search effectively, investigate incidents, or let AI agents reason over what actually happened. As a Runtime AI Data Control Platform, Skyflow ensures sensitive customer data stays governed and isolated, while observability data remains fully usable.”

Ariel Assaraf, Coralogix CEO, said: “Coralogix customers rely on observability data as a trusted system of record—supporting engineers, security teams, and the growing demands of AI-driven automation. They shouldn’t have to choose between safeguarding sensitive customer data and maintaining operational efficiency. By partnering with Skyflow, we ensure they can achieve both seamlessly.”

Why Traditional Approach Falls Short

In conventional observability pipelines, sensitive customer data is simply masked or completely removed breaking functionality:

• Identifiers no longer match across events
• Search and correlation degrade
• AI tools lose critical context
• Teams introduce risky exceptions to get work done

Instead of permanently removing sensitive values, Skyflow replaces them with consistent, privacy-preserving tokens, allowing logs to remain searchable and analyzable while the underlying data is centrally controlled, access-governed, and auditable.

Data Residency and Sovereignty by Design

Coralogix already enables customers to deploy observability workloads in specific geographic regions to meet data residency requirements. By combining this with Skyflow’s runtime data control capabilities, organizations can continue to meet strict data sovereignty obligations—ensuring sensitive customer data is governed, isolated, and accessed only under policy, while observability data remains local, usable, and compliant across regions. This approach helps organizations operating in regulated or multi-region environments reduce cross-border data exposure while maintaining full visibility and operational effectiveness.

Built for AI-Driven Observability

The joint approach enables organizations to:

• Keep sensitive customer data out of logs, dashboards, and downstream tools
• Preserve search, filtering, and correlation across events
• Enable AI agents to operate safely on telemetry, without direct access to raw sensitive data
• Allow policy-based rehydration only for approved workflows
• Reduce data sprawl and strengthen compliance across the observability stack

The result is observability that is privacy-safe by design, operationally effective, and ready for AI-native workflows.

What a Flex: Swimming Robot Propelled by Lab-Grown Muscle Hits Record Speed

Singapore, Mar 19: Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have engineered a self-training platform that allows lab-grown muscle tissues to exercise autonomously, producing record-breaking strength for biohybrid robots. The research team used these strengthened muscles to power OstraBot, an ostraciiform swimming robot, which reached speeds of 467 millimeters per minute — the fastest ever recorded for a skeletal muscle-driven robot. The study was published on March 18, 2026, in Nature Communications.

The breakthrough solves a long-standing bottleneck in biohybrid robotics, where weak cultured muscles have limited robot movement, force output, and functional applications. Inspired by arm-wrestling, the researchers mechanically coupled two muscle tissues so that each contraction stretches the other, creating a continuous, autonomous workout. This training requires no external stimulation, control system, or manual intervention.

“As the cells naturally contract during early maturation, connecting two tissues allows them to exercise round the clock,” said Assistant Professor Tan Yu Jun, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Design and Engineering at NUS, who led the study. “This approach removes a fundamental barrier in muscle-powered robotics and enables high-performance biohybrid systems designed with sustainability in mind.”

The self-trained muscles produced a maximum force of 7.05 millinewtons and a stress of 8.51 millinewtons per square millimeter, more than ten times higher than conventional muscle cultures. The NUS team then incorporated the trained muscle into OstraBot, whose design was guided by a physiology-based model of muscle activation. Using a single muscle to drive two flexible tails, the robot swam three times faster than counterparts powered by standard cultured muscle.

OstraBot also demonstrated precise controllability: its speed could be adjusted by changing electrical stimulation, and a sound-triggered system enabled it to start and stop in response to clapping signals. “The robot is not just alive — it is controllable,” noted Asst Prof Tan. “This combination of strength and regulation is critical for real-world applications of biohybrid robots.”

Looking ahead, the NUS team plans to integrate biodegradable materials into the robot’s structure, creating machines that safely degrade after completing their tasks. Potential applications include environmental monitoring in sensitive ecosystems and temporary implantable biomedical devices that eliminate the need for surgical removal.

“The ultimate goal is to create biohybrid robots that are high-performance, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible,” Asst Prof Tan said.
