Exabeam launches AI agent Nova for security operations
Exabeam has announced the launch of Exabeam Nova, an autonomous AI agent designed to optimise security operations for faster incident response and threat mitigation.
The company claims Exabeam Nova is the first AI solution to offer a fully integrated multi-agent experience that correlates attack signals, investigates incidents, and classifies threats based on behavioural context. This approach is intended to increase analyst productivity by up to 80%.
According to Steve Wilson, Chief Product Officer at Exabeam, "Security teams are done babysitting chatbots that rely on analysts to do the heavy lifting — they need AI that takes action and makes their jobs easier. As a catalyst for increased operational and organisational impact, Exabeam Nova boosts SOC productivity, reduces analyst burnout, and ensures more efficient and resilient security operations. We're allergic to hype; Exabeam delivers true, results-driven AI that redefines what's possible for today's cybersecurity teams."
Exabeam Nova is built on the New-Scale Security Operations Platform and aims to provide in-depth behavioural analysis and contextualised insights to streamline investigation and response processes. The system helps security teams by automatically correlating multiple threat signals, thereby reducing time spent on alert triage and improving threat identification and response.
Exabeam CEO Chris O'Malley remarked, "Exabeam quarterly product launches are a testament to our agility and commitment to not only meet market demands but exceed them. We deliver what the industry needs, when it needs it — with these groundbreaking enhancements, Exabeam is redefining the future of security operations. Vigilant CISOs require solutions that empower security teams to move quickly and accurately. By delivering real, actionable intelligence, deep security expertise, and lightning-fast response times that improve outcomes, Exabeam is setting the bar for what's possible in modern threat defense. With over a decade of AI innovation and expertise, Exabeam is pioneering the next chapter of AI in cybersecurity — one where security teams can work smarter, move faster, and defend with greater precision than ever before."
Bill Lucas, Senior Director of Cybersecurity at Mastronardi Produce, noted the impact of Exabeam Nova on his team's operations: "The new agentic AI feature, Exabeam Nova, is a huge step forward—it's not just innovation for the sake of it, it's solving real challenges for my team. The ability to automatically generate meaningful, accurate case summaries lifts a massive burden off our analysts and gives them back time to focus on what matters most: stopping threats. I'm genuinely excited to see how Exabeam continues to lead the way in shaping a smarter, more efficient future for security operations."
Echoing these statements, Grant Leonard, Field CISO at Lumifi, commented, "Our partnership with Exabeam strengthens as they continue to deliver innovative and impactful solutions. Exabeam Nova is exactly what security analysts have long hoped AI could offer, an intelligent, seamless assistant that delivers real insights quickly and accurately. Exabeam goes beyond simply providing AI for the sake of it; their solutions are designed to meet the real needs of the industry, positioning both Exabeam and their customers ahead of the competition."
In addition to Exabeam Nova, the company has introduced enhancements to other platforms including the New-Scale Platform, LogRhythm SIEM Platform, and NetMon. These updates are designed to enhance investigation speed, data integration, and threat detection capabilities.
The New-Scale Platform now includes features such as True Identity and Custom REST API Collector. These are aimed at improving data consolidation and facilitating custom API integrations. The LogRhythm SIEM Platform has been updated to improve data visibility and integration, while NetMon supports new protocols and applications, delivering enriched data for advanced threat detection.
