Launching a New Era in SOC Productivity: Exabeam New-Scale Analytics and Automation Management 

The challenges facing Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are growing as the cybersecurity landscape becomes more complex. Analysts are overwhelmed by too many alerts, outdated workflows, and disconnected tools, making it harder to stay ahead of advanced threats. At Exabeam, we’re changing that.  

Today, we’re launching Exabeam New-Scale Analytics and updates to Automation Management, two solutions that will raise the bar for SOC operations.   

This release is more than an update—it introduces a new approach to threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR). With features like dynamic risk scoring, Open API Standard (OAS) compatibility, and advanced network telemetry integration, Exabeam is delivering a platform that makes SOCs smarter, faster, and more efficient.  

Key Benefits of This Release

1. Boost Threat Detection with Advanced Analytics 

Exabeam New-Scale Analytics leverages machine learning and behavioral analysis to uncover the threats traditional SIEMs miss. Multi-layered risk scoring factors in dynamic variables like user behavior and location, ensuring you focus on the most pressing threats.

2. Automate Everything with Industry-First Open API Support

Exabeam Automation Management is the first SOC platform to support the Open API Standard (OAS), empowering analysts to create no-code automations that integrate seamlessly with third-party tools. This eliminates manual processes and accelerates response times. 

3. Eliminate Alert Fatigue 

By reducing noise and prioritizing alerts with unmatched accuracy, Exabeam helps analysts spend less time sifting through false positives and more time solving legitimate threats. 

4. Unify Security Operations

Exabeam delivers a cloud-native architecture that integrates log management, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR), and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR). The Exabeam end-to-end platform breaks down silos and scales effortlessly to meet your growing needs, while delivering an unmatched unified experience for security analysts and engineers. 

Feature Spotlight: What Sets This Release Apart

1. Multi-Layered Risk Scoring

Runaway alerts and static rules are now a thing of the past. Our risk scoring adapts dynamically based on contextual and business factors like user role and location. By automating event correlation, New-Scale Analytics provides unmatched accuracy in detecting insider threats and credential-based attacks.

2. Open API Standard for Automation

Automation Management raises SOC productivity to a new level with OAS support. Analysts can quickly onboard thousands of third-party integrations and build automations without needing to write code. For engineers preferring more control, Automation Management also supports creating both basic and advanced integrations using Python or a no-code point-and-click interface. 

3. Dynamic Case Triage

Fragmented investigations are no longer a problem. Our new triage system automatically creates cases, groups alerts, and incorporates late-arriving event data, ensuring your cases remain current and actionable. This automated system reduces risks and ensures analysts can focus on accurate threat detection and efficient responses. 

4. Network Telemetry Integration

The New-Scale platform now supports NetMon, adding deep network visibility to your detection capabilities. By analyzing anomalies in network traffic, we give you a new dimension of insight into potential threats. 

5. Enhanced Developer Experience 

The new Developer Playbook Designer is a game-changer for building automations. With a modular, point-and-click interface, even non-technical users can create complex workflows. For advanced use cases, our platform supports Python scripting and version control. 

Why It Matters: Tackling Real SOC Challenges

Fragmented Workflows

SOC teams often struggle to integrate disparate tools, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Our platform’s unified approach solves this by offering seamless interoperability across all your security investments.

Alert Overload

Traditional SIEMs flood analysts with irrelevant alerts. By prioritizing alerts based on dynamic risk scoring, our solutions cut through the noise, helping teams focus on genuine threats. 

Static Cases

Most SIEMs create static incident cases, forcing analysts to backtrack and piece together related events. Our dynamic case triage ensures investigations evolve as new data comes in, keeping your SOC agile and effective. 

Real Results, Real Impact

Imagine cutting incident response times in half. Picture your analysts focusing on high-priority threats instead of chasing false positives. With New-Scale Analytics and Automation Management, Exabeam makes this vision a reality. Our early adopters and design partners are already reporting dramatic improvements in SOC productivity and threat detection accuracy

Conclusion: Ready to Transform Your SOC?

The future of security operations is here, and it starts with Exabeam. New-Scale Analytics and Automation Management deliver the tools you need to stay ahead of evolving threats, streamline your workflows, and unlock the full potential of your SOC.
