Processing and retaining security data has always been challenging, but the shift to cloud-native platforms has unlocked transformative capabilities. With the right tools, modern security operations centers (SOCs) can move beyond infrastructure maintenance and alert noise to drive faster, more effective threat detection and response.
Evolving to Meet Today’s Threats
Cyberattacks continue to grow in frequency and complexity. Detection coverage can’t be based on assumptions and security operations teams can’t afford to waste time maintaining infrastructure or chasing irrelevant alerts.
Cloud-native SIEM platforms like New-Scale SIEM from Exabeam are helping security teams move faster, more accurately, and with more flexibility. These systems eliminate the overhead of managing hardware and software, allowing teams to spend more time defending against real threats.
Built for Scale, Speed, and Simplicity
Modern SIEM platforms must process millions of events per second across hybrid environments and provide real-time visibility into what’s happening across the organization. Cloud-native architecture provides elastic storage and compute power, fast search, and flexible ingestion models. However, the real advantage lies in what your SIEM helps you detect and how efficiently it gets you there.
New-Scale SIEM processes more than one million events per second (EPS) and supports over 7,000 prebuilt log parsers. It’s designed to support growth, control costs, and reduce overhead by helping teams ingest the right data rather than collecting everything by default.
From Data Collection to Outcome Clarity
What sets modern SIEMs apart is the ability to tie data ingestion directly to security outcomes. Outcomes Navigator, built into the New-Scale Security Operations Platform, maps your log sources to detection use cases and the MITRE ATT&CK® framework. It shows what threats you’re prepared to detect, what gaps still exist, and which log sources are actively contributing to meaningful coverage.
Rather than collecting every log just in case, security teams can focus on high-value sources and improve their security posture with precision. This outcome-driven approach helps reduce ingest costs and avoid overestimating your detection capabilities.
Smarter Threat Investigation and Response
When incidents happen, investigation speed is critical. Analysts need tools that are intuitive, context rich, and purpose-built for the way SOCs operate. That’s where Threat Center and Exabeam Nova come in.
Threat Center provides a centralized investigative workbench that combines alerts, case timelines, and automation into one interface. It automates evidence collection, adds ATT&CK context, and accelerates handoffs across the team.
Exabeam Nova is the security-specific multi-agent AI system built into the New-Scale Platform. Its six specialized agents support natural language search, detection scoring, case investigation, visualization, and real-time assistance. Together, they provide prescriptive guidance on how to strengthen detections, optimize log sources, and respond to threats more effectively.
See Outcomes Navigator in Action
Want to know exactly what your SIEM is detecting and what it’s not?
Outcomes Navigator maps your log sources to detection use cases and ATT&CK techniques. It shows you where your program stands, highlights gaps, and recommends specific actions to improve threat coverage.
Watch the video below to see how security teams use Outcomes Navigator to:
- Visualize their detection posture in real time
- Prioritize the log sources and rules that improve outcomes
- Reduce unnecessary data collection and uncover missed threats
This is the visibility and control modern SOCs need. Not more dashboards or higher ingest, but real answers about where they stand and what to improve.
