Log360 Cloud
Agentic & Conversational AI Capabilities

We're excited to share that Log360 Cloud is launching agentic and conversational AI capabilities this week, a major step forward in our AI roadmap.


Here's a quick overview of what's new:


Ask Zia: A conversational AI assistant built into the Log360 console. Analysts can query logs, alerts, and technician activities in plain English and get results instantly. It's accessible from anywhere in the product.


Zia Agent Studio: Customers can now deploy prebuilt agents or build custom agents to carry out specialized security tasks. Two prebuilt agents (User Activity Review and Alert Correlation) ship ready to deploy from the Zia Agent Store. Custom agents can leverage published Log360 APIs to query data and take actions across Log360, ManageEngine, and Zoho apps.


Zoho MCP Integration: Log360 now supports the Model Context Protocol, enabling external AI clients like Copilot, Claude, and Cursor to perform threat hunting and investigation directly against Log360 data. Prebuilt API tools work out of the box with no additional configuration.

Ask Zia and Zia Agents are available in the Professional edition, whereas Zoho MCP integration is available for all users.


This is a strong differentiator in customer conversations, especially with prospects evaluating AI capabilities in their SOC stack.
