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, Exabeam’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 expectationsโwe’re focused on driving real, transformative change in how security teams operate. Today’s release is more than an incremental improvementโit’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 Copilot’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: Exabeam’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 Exabeam’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.
