    When Market Forces And Antitrust Legislation Collide – A Reflection On The Current State Of Cybersecurity

    As we settle into the second quarter of 2022, Exabeam director of product marketing Jeannie Warner writes in VAR Insights, it is becoming apparent that fluctuations in the markets are having a significant impact on the tech industry, especially related to plans for cybersecurity IPOs. For many companies, the exit strategy of the moment appears to fall more in line with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) than buyouts or private investments.

    Exabeam CISO Tyler Farrar: Lessons I Learned From My Military Experience about How To Survive And Thrive During A Time Of Crisis

    Crisis management is one characteristic that many successful leaders share in common, and in many cases it is the most important trait necessary to survive and thrive in today’s complex market. In an Authority Magazine interview series exploring the subject of dealing with crises and how to adapt and overcome them, Exabeam CISO Tyler Farrar emphasizes the importance of planning: “Have a Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc. It’s important to be prepared before a crisis actually occurs because it is more than likely the scenario itself or other unknown factors will get in the way. Taking the time to come up with several options ahead of time will allow you to meet a crisis head-on.”

    Exabeam Fusion Named One of the Best SIEM Tools & Software for 2022

    We’re honored that Exabeam Fusion was chosen as one of eSecurity Planet’s Best SIEM Tools for 2022, being recognized as a vendor that “[stands] above the rest in the mature cybersecurity space.”

    Managing your organization’s security alerts is a full-time job — whether you monitor only Network Security Devices (NSD), Endpoint, Identity, or (ideally) all of the above. Traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) products may be exactly what is required for log management and the requirements of compliance and governance, but they are seldom optimized for threat detection and incident response — and require extensive tuning to build events of interest.

    Enter Exabeam Fusion XDR. When combined with a SIEM solution such as Splunk, QRadar, or a data lake, you add threat analysis, entity (user, endpoint, server, etc.) behavior analysis, risk scoring, correlation, and built-in incident response and case handling. All of this is possible without having to rip and replace your SIEM.

    Amplifying your SIEM with the addition of Exabeam Fusion XDR has many benefits — here are the top 5 quick wins.
