    You don’t need to replace your security information and event management (SIEM) solution to modernize security operations. You just need smarter AI, automation, and analytics.

    Replacing a SIEM can be costly and disruptive. Many security teams already rely on log management platforms that meet basic needs like compliance reporting and centralized visibility. But when it comes to detecting insider threats, uncovering credential misuse, or reducing alert fatigue, most SIEMs lack the detection capabilities to get the job done.

    That’s where Exabeam New-Scale Analytics makes the difference.

    It’s an advanced offering that works alongside your current SIEM without requiring a replacement. With machine learning (ML), behavioral context, agentic AI, and automation, you can improve detection accuracy, streamline investigations, and support your team with built-in guidance.

    Modernize Without Disruption

    New-Scale Analytics is built to integrate with the tools you already use:

    • Use your current logs as is. No need to restructure data or reconfigure ingestion pipelines.
    • Keep your detections. New-Scale Analytics adds behavioral context without replacing existing rules.
    • Deploy with minimal friction. There’s no downtime or disruption to daily operations.

    Whether your team uses an on-prem solution or a cloud-native SIEM with limited analytics, New-Scale Analytics enhances detection and investigation without requiring a full migration.

    Spot What Others Miss

    Most legacy rules are designed to catch known patterns. But many attacks—especially those involving credentials or insiders—mimic normal behavior and escape detection.

    New-Scale Analytics uses machine-learned threat detection to uncover risks that would otherwise go unnoticed:

    • Learns normal behavior for every user, device, and system
    • Flags anomalies automatically without manual rule tuning
    • Applies adaptive, behavior-based risk scoring to prioritize critical threats
    • Accelerates triage and response with agentic AI that supports every phase of the workflow

    Threat Center brings this context together. Timelines automatically connect related events to build a full picture of attacker behavior. With integrations into third-party ticketing systems, analysts can act directly from their existing workflows.

    Built for Analyst Efficiency

    Security analysts don’t need more dashboards. They need a faster way to triage alerts, focus on real threats, and eliminate repetitive manual work.

    New-Scale Analytics helps by:

    • Reducing alert volume up to 60% with high-fidelity detections and dynamic risk scoring
    • Cutting investigation time by up to 80% with automated timelines and prioritized context
    • Delivering instant insights through a coordinated system of AI agents embedded across the analyst workflow

    With clearer prioritization and less noise, analysts can resolve incidents faster and reduce burnout, especially in overextended SOCs facing talent shortages.

    Why Security Leaders Choose New-Scale Analytics

    Security leaders rely on New-Scale Analytics to strengthen their programs, support their teams, and prove value at the executive level.

    They choose New-Scale Analytics when they want to:

    • Demonstrate measurable outcomes with real-time, leadership-ready reports from Outcomes Navigator, enhanced by the Exabeam Nova Advisor Agent. CISOs gain daily posture summaries, MITRE ATT&CK® coverage insights, and prioritized recommendations that eliminate manual reporting and support strategic planning.
    • Improve threat detection without replacing their SIEM. New-Scale Analytics integrates with tools like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and QRadar to detect threats traditional SIEMs miss—including credential misuse, lateral movement, and insider threats—by applying machine-learned behavioral baselines and correlation logic.
    • Identify and close coverage gaps with automated assessments of log presence, parsing quality, and detection content. Security leaders can prioritize investments and track improvement over time using quantitative scorecards.
    • Boost analyst productivity while reducing burnout. By decreasing alert volume and investigation times, Exabeam helps security teams respond to more threats with fewer resources and improves analyst morale by eliminating manual investigation tasks.
    • Invest in AI that enhances detection and drives program maturity. Exabeam Nova is a purpose-built, embedded, multi-agent AI system that assists across all SOC functions, including real-time search, threat scoring, and leadership reporting, delivering the most relevant insights without requiring additional tools or licenses.

    New-Scale Analytics integrates with the tools you already use, helping you modernize detection and response without disruption. When paired with Outcomes Navigator, you can measure progress, simulate improvements, justify investments, and communicate results that resonate with executive stakeholders and boards alike.

    Augment or Replace, It’s Your Call

It integrates with platforms like Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, and QRadar to close detection gaps and extend the value of your existing investments.
