Exabeam unveils new AI SIEM tool in first post-merger release

Exabeam has announced its first quarterly product release following the merger with LogRhythm. The release includes new innovations aimed at providing customers with increased flexibility to select security solutions tailored to their specific needs, based on infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and operational preferences.

A key highlight of the release is the introduction of LogRhythm Intelligence, a new AI-powered offering that integrates Exabeam's AI capabilities with LogRhythm's established self-hosted SIEM platform.

Steve Wilson, Chief Product Officer of Exabeam, commented, "Our goal is to empower security teams with AI that augments their skills, accelerates their workflows, and ultimately makes them more effective in protecting their organisations against increasingly sophisticated threats. As the leading and largest pure-play SIEM vendor, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the industry, empowering organisations to stay ahead of evolving threats in an increasingly complex digital landscape."

Chris O'Malley, CEO of Exabeam, highlighted the company's commitment to innovation, saying, "We work at the pleasure of our customers by exceeding their expectations, and Exabeam is relentless in our mission to put them first in driving our innovation agenda. This release marks the 10th consecutive quarterly launch for self-hosted LogRhythm SIEM and the 24th monthly release for the cloud-native Exabeam Security Operations Platform—embodying our deep commitment to our precious customers, offering unmatched flexibility and choice."

LogRhythm Intelligence, the newly launched AI-powered add-on, enhances behavioural detections within the LogRhythm Machine Data Intelligence (MDI) Fabric. It escalates anomalous activity of users and hosts into the LogRhythm SIEM user experience. Using insights from 795 behavioural models and 1,800 fact-based rules, analysts can build searches, dashboards, reports, and execute security orchestration and automated response (SOAR) capabilities within LogRhythm SIEM. This integration aims to adopt a more automated approach to reducing false positives and managing threats effectively.

Additionally, Exabeam has introduced enhancements to its cloud-native and self-hosted platforms. The cloud-native New-Scale Security Operations Platform now features new cloud collectors to streamline log ingestion, improved dashboards with Exabeam Copilot, and expanded regional support, including services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The company has also achieved AICPA SOC 2 Type II compliance, reinforcing its commitment to security and privacy standards.

On the self-hosted side, the LogRhythm SIEM platform now includes improvements such as enhanced log source management and optimised analytics for better load handling. The updated versions of Elasticsearch and the Advanced Intelligence Engine service contribute to up to a 50% improvement in detection pipeline throughput and an 87% faster loading of log sources in the client console. Analysts can also expect up to a 10-fold improvement in processing pattern matching rules.

Samet Uzun, Information Security Manager at iLab, said, "In today's digital landscape, safeguarding our customers' data is not just a priority; it is a responsibility we take seriously. We chose Exabeam for its ability to provide a sophisticated SIEM solution that aligns with our security objectives. This collaboration enhances our capacity to detect and respond to threats swiftly, allowing us to confidently support the digital transformation initiatives that are vital to Turkey's future."

Ryan Kalember, Chief Strategy Officer at Proofpoint, added, "The most powerful security architectures are the ones that are highly integrated and help security teams protect what matters most: their infrastructure, the apps that run on it, the data that powers them, and their people. Effectively combating threats requires well-integrated security controls that reinforce each other, like those of Exabeam and Proofpoint, to provide defence in depth and breadth."

Phil Swain, CISO at Extreme Networks, remarked, "In the modern security landscape, the regular release of innovative products and AI tools ensures we have the necessary solutions to strengthen our defences and respond to threats with speed and accuracy. As a leading network technology provider to customers including schools, hospitals, and governments, it's critical for us to safeguard our organisation against unpredictable threats. Exabeam is a key part of our security strategy."
