Exabeam sets new standard for SOC automation with Open API compatibility

Exabeam launches its Open API-compatible New-Scale Platform, revolutionising SOC automation with seamless integration and advanced threat detection tools.

Exabeam, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions powered by AI, has launched a significant update to its cloud-native New-Scale Security Operations Platform. With this release, Exabeam becomes the first security operations platform to achieve compatibility with the Open API Standard (OAS). This move marks a major shift in how Security Operations Centres (SOCs) approach automation, integration, and threat response.

The integration with OAS allows SOC teams to build custom automations and playbooks quickly, seamlessly integrating with their existing tools. This eliminates reliance on rigid, monolithic systems and reduces response times significantly. By prioritising openness and flexibility, Exabeam empowers security professionals to focus on rapid threat mitigation rather than navigating complex automation tools.

Improving efficiency and integration for security teams

Traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems often require separate tools for automation, leading to inefficiencies and slower response times. In contrast, Exabeamโ€™s New-Scale Platform offers seamless integration with thousands of OAS-compatible products. Developers and analysts can now build, test, and deploy automations and playbooks in minutes instead of hours or days.

Chris O’Malley, CEO of Exabeam, emphasised the significance of this update, stating, “This quarterly release not only reflects Exabeam as the industry’s largest and leading independent SIEM and UEBA provider but also highlights our position at the forefront of security operations innovation. Our commitment to customers goes beyond simply meeting expectationsโ€”we’re focused on driving real, transformative change in how security teams operate. Today’s release is more than an incremental improvementโ€”it’s a massive shift in delivering tools and capabilities that empower vigilant CISOs and their teams to stay ahead of evolving threats. We care deeply and it shows in our actions.”

Steve Wilson, Chief Product Officer at Exabeam, added, “For too long, security teams have been forced to work within walled gardens, making do with fragmented, rigid systems that waste valuable time. At Exabeam, we’re shattering that model. Today, we deliver a unified, open ecosystem that allows users to take control, integrate the best tools, and customise their security operations without the roadblocks of traditional platforms. The era of truly open security operations is hereโ€” and Exabeam is at the forefront, leading the charge toward a future where security is as dynamic as the threats we face.”

Key updates to the New-Scale Security Operations Platform

1. Breakthrough risk scoring with New-Scale Analytics: The updated analytics engine introduces advanced threat detection capabilities, applying business context to risk scores while reducing false positives. Analysts can now rely on a more accurate, continuously updated view of potential threats without the need for manual tuning.

2. Unified threat detection and response: The integration of Threat Center as the central analyst workbench combines detections, case management, and automation into one platform. With Exabeam Copilotโ€™s AI capabilities, analysts benefit from concise threat summaries, natural-language search, and automated investigation timelines.

3. Accelerated threat triage: Threat detection grouping consolidates behavioural and rule-based alerts, enabling analysts to assess the full scope of a threat more effectively and respond faster.

4. Partner-centric open platform: Exabeamโ€™s integration with Wiz strengthens cloud security insights, allowing teams to enhance threat detection, investigation, and response across environments.

Enhancing visibility and network monitoring

The updates also include improvements to Exabeamโ€™s LogRhythm SIEM Platform and the NetMon solution:

  • LogRhythm SIEM Platform: Expanded warm-tier search allows faster access to historical data, improving investigative efficiency. Integration with Cloudflare Beat enhances log visibility for better threat analysis.
  • NetMon network visibility: Available across Exabeam products, NetMon provides granular real-time insights into network traffic from over 3,500 applications. Automated threat detection and smart data capture ensure streamlined operations without increasing storage requirements.

Driving measurable outcomes for customers

Exabeam’s customer-centric approach continues to deliver real impact, with security leaders sharing their experiences.

Sebastian Bittig, Director of Cyber Defence at r-tec IT Security GmbH, shared, “With the Open API approach, Exabeam is redefining how our SOC functions. The seamless integration with our existing tools has unlocked unparalleled visibility and efficiency, enabling us to streamline workflows and focus on what matters most โ€“ stopping threats before they escalate.”

Lindbergh Caldeira, Cyber Security Operations Manager at SA Power Networks, highlighted the platformโ€™s capabilities, saying, “The automation and AI-driven capabilities in the New-Scale Security Operations Platform have accelerated workflows and improved outcomes for our SOC, enabling us to be more effective in protecting against today’s sophisticated threats.”

Grant Leonard, Field CISO at Lumifi, added, “The introduction of the Open API Standard sets a new benchmark for interoperability and flexibility. This level of innovation is pivotal in helping our customers stay ahead of threats and drive meaningful outcomes.”

With these advancements, Exabeam continues to lead the way in transforming SOC operations, empowering security teams to respond faster, automate effectively, and stay resilient against evolving cyber threats.
