Exabeam unveils Nova AI agent for enhanced security ops

Exabeam has introduced Exabeam Nova, an autonomous AI agent, designed to deliver actionable intelligence that equips security teams to react more swiftly to incidents and effectively mitigate threats.

Exabeam Nova is now part of a unique multi-agent system, integrated across the security operations workflow, differentiating it from other solutions that rely on general-purpose chatbots. This AI agent correlates attack signals and classifies threats based on behavioural context, purportedly reducing investigation times by over 50% and enhancing analyst productivity by up to 80%.

Steve Wilson, Chief Product Officer at Exabeam, commented, "Security teams are done babysitting chatbots that rely on analysts to do the heavy lifting - they need AI that takes action and makes their jobs easier. As a catalyst for increased operational and organisational impact, Exabeam Nova boosts SOC productivity, reduces analyst burnout, and ensures more efficient and resilient security operations. We're allergic to hype; Exabeam delivers true, results-driven AI that redefines what's possible for today's cybersecurity teams."

Exabeam Nova is accessible via the cloud-native New-Scale Security Operations Platform. It offers automated analysis of behavioural patterns, attack techniques, and anomalous activity, providing insights that aim to shorten investigation and response times. The solution is designed to identify and respond to threats with heightened efficiency and accuracy by correlating detections and classifying threats within its proprietary framework.

Chris O'Malley, Exabeam CEO, remarked, "Exabeam quarterly product launches are a testament to our agility and commitment to not only meet market demands but exceed them. We deliver what the industry needs, when it needs it - with these enhancements, Exabeam is redefining the future of security operations. Vigilant CISOs require solutions that empower security teams to move quickly and accurately. By delivering real, actionable intelligence, deep security expertise, and fast response times that improve outcomes, Exabeam is setting the bar for what's possible in modern threat defence."

Bill Lucas, Senior Director of Cybersecurity at Mastronardi Produce, stated, "The new agentic AI feature, Exabeam Nova, is a huge step forward - it's not just innovation for the sake of it, it's solving real challenges for my team. The ability to automatically generate meaningful, accurate case summaries lifts a massive burden off our analysts and gives them back time to focus on what matters most: stopping threats."

Grant Leonard, Field CISO at Lumifi, added, "Our partnership with Exabeam strengthens as they continue to deliver impactful solutions. Exabeam Nova is exactly what security analysts have long hoped AI could offer, an intelligent, seamless assistant that delivers real insights quickly and accurately. Their solutions are designed to meet the real needs of the industry, positioning both Exabeam and their customers ahead of the competition."

Beyond Exabeam Nova, Exabeam has also rolled out several updates to its New-Scale Platform, LogRhythm SIEM Platform, and NetMon to enhance investigation speed, visibility, and integrations. The New-Scale Platform now features the True Identity capability and a Custom REST API Collector for timesaving customer API integrations. Logging advancements in the LogRhythm SIEM Platform are reported to substantially increase visibility and data integration.

NetMon now offers more comprehensive network intelligence, with automatic classification of more than 5,000 applications and support for over 1,000 new protocols. These enhancements are intended to facilitate effective detection and response to advanced threats.
