Choose Your Own Adventure: Finding the Right Path for Your Self-Hosted SIEM Deployment​

When it comes to security operations, one size doesn’t fit all. Every SOC has its own priorities, constraints, and pace of change. That’s why Exabeam gives you the power to choose your own adventure, with three flexible paths for self-hosted SIEM users.

Whether you’re staying on-premises, ready to layer on AI-driven insights, or curious about cloud-native workflows, your journey is up to you. Each path offers a different way to evolve your threat detection, investigation, and response (TDIR) capabilities, without disruption.

Path 1: “I want to stay on-prem.”

Some organizations prefer having complete control and ownership over their data and infrastructure. If that’s your security journey, great! There’s no need to switch. LogRhythm SIEM remains one of the most trusted and reliable self-hosted platforms on the market.

Whether you’re new to LogRhythm SIEM or have relied on it for years, users benefit from maximum scalability, over 1,100 prebuilt correlation rules (including rules mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK^® framework, and strong compliance coverage. And we’re not slowing down. Since July 2024, Exabeam has improved LogRhythm SIEM quarter over quarter, offering more than 220 new or improved log source integrations, enhanced JSON parsing, and expanded dashboards and compliance support across 28 regulatory frameworks. With enriched analytics and embedded security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) workflows, LogRhythm SIEM keeps getting better.

Why follow this path:

• Keep full control of your data and compliance posture
• Benefit from continuous enhancements without disruption
• Enjoy on a platform built for performance, scale, and stability

Path 2: “I’m on-prem, but I want AI productivity.”

You want smarter detections and faster investigations, but you’re not ready to move everything to the cloud. That’s exactly why we created LogRhythm Intelligence.

It’s a cloud-native analytics add-on for your LogRhythm SIEM that brings advanced user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), AI-driven risk scoring, and Exabeam Nova—our agentic AI assistant—into your existing workflows.

With over 500 behavioral models, 198 fact-based rules, and AI-generated threat summaries, you can spot and prioritize the threats that matter most, without changing how your team works.

Why follow this path:

• Add behavioral analytics and risk-based prioritization without migrating
• Let Exabeam Nova surface insights and recommend next steps
• Empower your team to detect and respond faster with less manual effort

Path 3: “I’m considering a move to the cloud.”

You don’t have to commit to explore. With our Capture the Flag (CTF) environment, you can test-drive the New-Scale Security Operations Platform in a guided, interactive experience.

This AI-powered platform combines security information and event management (SIEM), SOAR, and UEBA into a single cloud-native solution.

You’ll experience features like Threat Center, automated threat timelines, intelligent alert correlation, and over 500 behavioral models, designed to reduce alert fatigue by up to 60% and cut remediation time in half.

Why follow this path:

• Try advanced TDIR workflows in a low-stakes, gamified setting
• Evaluate how AI and automation improve threat coverage
• See if the New-Scale Platform is the right long-term fit for your team
